3.11 was so much nicer than 3.1 (and 3.0) I can’t imagine not moving to it as soon as possible.

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 did not contain Cardfile. :-(

Didn’t it have a proper address book? I remember I could send faxes through Mail.

Schedule+, which was contained in Windows for Workgroups 3.11, contained address book functionalities that were clearly better than Cardfile.

But people used Cardfile for many other different purposes than serving as an address book.

I was like 11 at the time buying computer stuff with lawn care earnings so I used whatever I could get my hands on. :)
