Kid, I have windows 3.1 on goddamn floppies.
I visited my childhood home which is now falling in. I probably shouldn’t have gone in there but I’m glad I did.
On the side where the roof hasn’t yet collapsed I looked into the downstairs closet by my last bedroom and the only item sitting in there, pinched between the wood of the floor and the wall, was a single floppy from the Windows 3.1 set.
I didn’t sleep for a week because of the state that place is in. :(
