Paulguy's Post configuration I'm probably most nostalgic for windows 3.1 or 95.
The old Mac OS 8 interface is pretty nice. Looked like a better windows 95 in styling but worked really well at the time. I think I really preferred the old win/DOS systems overall, though. They let you really get in to things and change shit very easily. ____________________ |

The Amiga Workbench and System 7 are my favorite retro GUIs... but if I had to pick just one, it'd be the Amiga Workbench. After all, it is quirky enough to bring memories to many people. =P ____________________ Twitter • YouTube • DeviantArt • The Left Mouse Button |

Paulguy's Post configuration I haven't had much experience with amiga workbench but the interface is pretty neat as well, especially the earlier one on the 68K Amigas. ____________________ |

#54 MacOS 7, but mostly because it's the one I grew up with ... I haven't seen much of the others at all, except Windows 3.1 somewhat 
Maybe also Windows 2000 if it's old enough to count  ____________________ |

My favorite was 98 too. You could play Dos and Windows games. I loved Commander Keen and Worms. The oldest I have used was 95. Then my dad put Red Hat on the 98 instead! I was really mad because I wanted to play Monkey Island 3. I also remember playing this odd game, you were this character in a sidescrolling game. On the easy mode you looked like a baby. The first level had grass and the second had robots. I remember on the beginning there was a scene with a guy with a mop. I think  Right now the oldest working computer is an XP.____________________  |

| I always did miss Windows 98SE. It was the first OS I had and I could play all my old games on it without any real problems. Then again, my computer was slower than all hell.
I should just get that old computer and be done with it. ____________________ |

I had a lot of video games from that era. Another choice for me might be the C64 environment.
