Wanted: Escom OS 3.1 disk set

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I really am confused about the continued interest in the grey/blue Workbench that is 3.1 when 3.9 is still available!!!

... superior in every way!

Good for low-spec systems, especially with something like BetterWB.

Also, some people still can't seem to figure out the proper order to install the Boing Bag updates, and wind up screwing their systems all up.  :laughing:

That being said, this whole thread was kind of confusing.  When he said he wanted a copy of "Escom OS 3.1", I assumed he was some kind of collector who wanted the disks from during the Escom era, with the original packaging and labels.  Dunno, since regular Workbench 3.1 disks are available all over the place.  #Headscratch

I'll just leave this here:

Haha! But seriously what is the benefit of installing Boing Bags 3 & 4 (after first installing 1 and the 2)? Since they are unofficial I've never chanced it.

Continued updates beyond what was available 15 years ago (when BB 1 & 2 were released).

The changelog is publicly available:

.... I don't see anything that is a deal winner to be honest.

If you don't want those things, I mean, that's up to you.  No one forcing it on ya (not like Windows 10 with its forced updates, lol).  But you should at least download the archive and pick & chose the updated components you want from it.  My .02 cents.

Or at least for godsake install the Peter K. icon library (which is also part of the updated BB's), haha!
