Step back to 1993 - Put Windows 3.11 on a single floppy

Granted, the only things installed are File Manager, Notepad, and Minesweeper, but still a pretty neat trick nonetheless. Thanks to Neil T. for the link. Sadly, I think I have original Windows 3.1 and DOS 6.0 install disks in my closet.

Look guys, I hate to say it but nobody cares about you. I know, it's a cruel world but really... I mean, it's true.

Give it up.
