The issue is not with SSL 3.0. Gmail supports that, and if you use Outlook Express 5.5 with SSL3, it works. OE 5.0 fails with the same security settings as OE 5.5, whether on Windows 95/98 or on WFW 3.11. Ohhh, damnnn... thanks for correcting me. I might want to try another email client then. …

I think that it's official... no email client app will work with WFWG 3.11 unless we use some of the "gimmicks" we mentioned on this thread, to downgrade the protocol. WFWG 3.11 tops at SSL 3.0, and this was essentially deprecated in a long, long time ago. I was surprised to see OE 6 work with W98 …

I gave up on NT 3.51 since it can’t run on DosBox and iDOS 2. Almost thought about going to W95, but I was never a fan of this GUI. I guess that I will really have to set up my rPI3 to run some scripts in the middle. IIRC, you can switch Windows 95 to use the old Win3.x GUI... But I don't think …

If the script I found (legacyweb) allowed me to use the IMAP instead of POP, I could try it. It’s the script that allows me to connect to Gmail through stunnel using WFWG 3.11 and Outlook 5.0. But thanks for the suggestion - I might do that when I decide to run a W95/W98 machine. I just came back …

The way I was blown away by the Amiga in the 80s can't be put into words. For anyone who doesn't get it, take a listen to what 1985 hardware could sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8FYh49E-Q0 This is an unremarkable game, given away free in 1990; attached to the cover of (IIRC) the 3rd …

The coating is definitely coming off. There was a sticker on one of the corners that the original owner had attempted to remove, unsuccessfully, in the process scraping off some of the coating surrounding it. I removed it all the way and much of the coating in that area came off. Basically, if you …

Just one curiosity: Has anyone played the MicroProse Formula One Grand Prix (F1GP) in both PC and Amiga versions? I wanted to know if there was much difference between them. I have. The PC version is better (assuming you have a fast enough PC), because it can get higher framerates, and also has …

Yep, that's the one. On our Hercules AT PC you couldn't get in through the windows; even jumping around on the alley screen was incredible fun (even though I had enjoyed many great platformers on my Atari 800XL like Pitfall 2, Bruce Lee etc.) so imagine my SHOCK when one day I was playing it on the …

I could say that in the time I have been playing PC games (1989 till today) the only PC platformer that I actually enjoyed was Alley Cat. If you can call it that. The genre on the PC was almost universally lame. https://www.mobygames.com/game/pc-booter/alley-cat You mean this one? I used to play …
