Windows 3.1 ... is the only Windows OS to be 100% safe and immune to modern virii and malwares.


Modern problems, maybe.
-No Windblows is safe and immune
-Windblows 3.1 is not an OS, even MS never claimed that, it is a graphical shell for MS-DOS, which had plenty of malwares

That said, I have had the commercial/paid for version of PCTask for years, and it is fun, which is the best compliment. However, BridgeBoards are even more fun, and you can hardware hack as well as software hack, and use network cards :)

And as far as just wrong, I bought a US$12 luggable clone with a Plasma Display at the thrift shop for an art project, for the Plasma Display, and it turns out to be an Intel x386. Plugged it in, turned it on, and 15 minutes later it finished booting up into Windblows 95!?! The hardware is pre-PS/2 ports, so it was looking for a serial mouse; remember those? If it can run on this ancient scrap, I may try on an A500 with one of those clone emulator belly boards.
