I do.

Though, those socket A boards kinda suck even after a recap. 98 runs great when it boots!

Gotta power cycle the PSU to get it to boot the first time. Tried 3 PSUs before the recap and nothing changed.

    That reminds me I want to try Windows 3 in a virtual machine just for fun. See how fast it boots

    It always booted fast enough (well as fast as computers were then). It was pretty fucking useless though. Dos was still way more useful and efficient in those days.

    Office like applications and fonts disagree. DOS was annoying, Windows was pretty.

    Office wasn't in use as much back then, that was still Lotus and WordPerfect territory. DOS was ok if you knew how to really use it, and it took some learning. I've always been a simplicity over fancy UI kind of guy though, so maybe it was just me.
