While it might be difficult to fire up the first PCs you ever owned today, some computer enthusiasts have made it easy for us to relive what it was like to use them again with almost no effort at all.

But there are a bunch of browser-based emulators that show you what the old OSes looked like and let you click on a few things.

I went to a lot of trouble to run Windows 1.0 in a virtual machine on a Windows 7 PC a few years ago, but you can live in the past right now by clicking on jsmachines.net, short for JavaScript Machines.

This PC XT configuration also includes a 10Mb hard disk with Windows 1.01 pre-installed.

As a nice touch, it runs the OS within an illustration of the physical computer.

The website is a bit sluggish and difficult to use, but its fun to look at.

Vincent recommends using Firefox 2 or 3, but it worked fine for me in Chrome 33 and Firefox 26.

For example, Notepad lacks a find and replace feature because it is not worth the effort.

Where features do exist, every effort is made to present them in exactly the manner that they existed in Windows 3.1.

You can use applications, open files, and even surf the 2014 Web on a browser (apparently one Vincent designed himself): Enlarge Michael Vincent.

I couldnt resize or move windows, and not all of the icons are clickable.

But the included functions work smoothly, and you can open enough applications and menus that it provides a nice look at a long-gone OS.

This one also isnt totally functional, but its worth firing up to see the first version of Microsofts iconic Start menu.

You can navigate through some of the system preferences, see an early version of the OS X dock, and start up Mail or Internet Explorer for Mac.

Released in 2001, Windows XP still commands 29 percent market share, making it the second most widely used OS after Windows 7.

Sadly, as far as we can tell, no developers have made websites that emulate BeOS or OS2, classic operating systems that went by the wayside.

I am gently working it into the owners mind that the old OS (and the XP that runs on a laptop) is simply no longer safe to use.

A lot of modern, security-patched versions of software like web browsers wont even install to it anymore.

The irony is that the W2K machine is still more powerful than the one Im typing this on.

Its probably not even able to use the CPUs other 3 cores, so theyre likely not even getting much out of it.
