I wonder how Windows 3.11 would run on my trusty, rusty Athlon 1200 /
GeForce 2 Ultra system with 256 megs of RAM?  Jeez, I'd love to install
Windows 3.11 on one of my partitions, for old times sake!  Unfortunately I
no longer have a way to install it.  I used to have it on an old Compaq
Presario (it had a 33MHz 486sx CPU) but the computer came with no
installation disks for Windows 3.1 :-(  I even have the old 200 megabyte
hard drive.  Unfortunately it won't fit in my drive bays because it was
REALLY proprietary.  No mounting holes in the proper places.

Oof... I'd rather build my own personal museum of computers than pay someone
to take it from me.  I think I've heard that people are paying outrageous
prices for some antiquated computers.
