    I think you put the record on your gramophone and it tells you
    how to write all the code...
    and you can compile Vista right on your 386




    BTW: The newest Windows operating system you can put on a 386 is Windows95


    That's why I put Windows98 on mine

    It was not easy to do, I had to make a lot of modifications to the OS !

    He cannot get the gramophone since the local theatre needs it because no one told them about 'talkies' yet.

    Oh heck they've had "talkies" for several years now...
    but since they raised the price of a movie to 35 cents...who's going to go
    now?
