Then came Windows for Workgroups, soon after replaced by Windows 3.1 and 3.11. Workgroups was amazing. This was when our "networked printers" needed their own pc's to run as servers for them. Our IT unit (IT teams are often the worst dinosaurs in an organisation) didn't know what hit them. I had the whole unit sharing printers using the ethernet network for our mainframe. I don't think they ever did figure out how I did it.
