Haven't seen the default VB6 Form icon in a while...

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was about to say, why can I still identify what version of visual studio used to make this nearly 3 decades on.

I can remember the Mondrian style icon that was the default for the first versions of .net

In the case of VB6 I'd blame trauma, personally. The default Winforms icon is kinda nostalgic for me. <3

I saw it like 2 or 3 years ago when I was still making a Banking app on it....

It's a ludicrous amount of storage that will last you a lifetime!

I remember scoring a 540mb Western Digital and thinking it would be the last hard drive If ever need.

It definitely lasted the OS's lifetime

Could Windows 95 really run well on only 32 megs of RAM?

[–] spauldo@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

I did tech support for a computer line that had Windows 95 on 8MB of RAM. It was pretty snappy for its time. Windows 3.1 flew on that hardware.

32MB of RAM on a PC? Only UNIX workstations and servers had that kind of luxury.

my first win 95 pc had a whopping 8MB of ram. I got into programming on that thing

Oh yeah:

The minimum hardware requirements for Microsoft Windows 95 are:

>A personal computer with a 386DX, 20MHz or higher processor, running the MS-DOS operating system version 3.2 or later, or running Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, or running OS/2 version 2.0 or later

>Note: Do not install Windows 95 on a computer with a B1 (stepping) chip.
>4MB of memory (8MB recommended)
>At least 70MB of available hard disk space for installation

>Actual requirements may vary based on features you choose to install. UITS recommends that you keep at least 10% of the drive free to reduce errors and fragmentation; therefore, on a 1GB drive, keep 100MB free.
>One 3.5" high-density disk drive or a CD-ROM drive
>VGA or higher resolution graphics card

Somehow I want to be a thing, and ported to every computer imaginable under the sun.
