LoL! I guess the computer doesn't like you too much. <G>
And for a 'simple' Windows 3.1 installation, 12MB is more than enough. I
have an old computer. And in it original configuration, get this:
i386sx-20 with 1MB of RAM (4 sticks of 256KB each) running MS-DOS 5.0
with Windows 3.1 standard mode. Ran perfectly!
It still runs almost all the time. Currently has 4MB of RAM and runs
MS-DOS 6.22 with WFW 3.11. It is used for Solitaire, Freecell, Tripeaks,
etc. Mostly card games.:) It is currently "owned" by my grandma, and
she's 85! Oh well...
