In the early 1990's, I had a Win3.1 desktop with Packard Bell Navigator, and it introduced me to Windows and the PC. 😀

Same. I was a bit late to the PC world as a Commodore die-hard. After Commodore folded, I ended up buying a Packard Bell. 486SX 25 with 4MB of RAM, 2x CD-ROM, 240MB HDD, tv tuner/capture card, and voice/fax modem. At first, I was a little disappointed compared to my Amiga, but the abundance of software that exploded once CD-ROM was a thing had me hooked.

I didn't do much with Navigator beyond just playing around with it. But I did later install it on family computers for those less computer literate.

I had an official retail standalone copy of Microsoft B.O.B. for years but never used it. I finally sold it a couple of years ago when I had seen it going for crazy prices.

I used HP's Dashboard when I had Windows 3.1.
