Oh man I distinctly remember being taught how to insert the floppy disk and then select the A: drive to save to the floppy disk on windows 3.1 in my elementary school computer class. My dad's Prince of Persia game was on like ten floppy disks.
Same here! And the weird thing is, we did this like 8 times during the school year because that's apparently everything our computer class teacher knew how to do. I always wondered why that was.
I actually recently set up a laptop to run windows 3.1 so I could show my kids what I used at their age. This was part of a tutorial that automatically runs when you first boot it up.
