Sorry sir, we don't support that...
I just spent the last hour on the phone trying to help a guy with Windows 3.1 and Eudora 1.5, when I should have just said the prior sentence...
In other words, there's people that still use 3.1? :eh:

I ran into that more often that I thought I would back at the dialup/dsl techsupport job.
"my dad found this pc in a closet an gave it to us. we want to get online!"
Yes, there's sill 3.1. I know one particular bank around here that has one old machine that is still running windows 2.0. Yes two point oh. Meaning before 3.1. It's a beastly 386 with 16mb of ram and a 2gb hard drive. I don't know what it does, but all the people at the bank know is that it does something important and would cost $30k to get new software written for a new system. It's been working fine for 15 years or so. Had a few upgrades (ram and hard drive) over the years. Gets backed up everyday.
If it's not broken, dont' fix it.
