I miss windows 98

man that sound just bumbed an Old burnt memory, good old times indeed

The first computer I ever got had Windows 2000 on it and that OS was the worst nightmare you could ever imagine. It was not compatible with anything, seriously, no games ran on it, nothing. At every boot you got some new error message, a different one each time, and often clicking OK would crash the machine. Installing programs sometimes caused problems like all of your icons turned into a white blank icon, and there was no way to repair that. It was crazy! Guys seriously, Windows 2000 is probably the worst thing that humanity was capable of doing after the world wars!

I had Windows 2000 Professional for 10 years and had no compatibility problems for any of those years.

Windows Millenium was the worst OS ever made, imo.

The first OS I ever used was Windows ME. I can’t remember how it was. I was 8 years old and used it for 3 years.

It’s funny how so many of the things we use computers for nowadays are to assist in the basic usage of computers…and so little of what we do is actually DOING something useful. I think this is why important scientific systems use DOS -5.0, so that they know no library will conflict with the new-model internal driver to cause a systems crash. Everything is so basic it can’t break.

I actually had 98 as my primary OS until about 2004 when I got high-speed internet access.

I finished HL2 on win98.

Also last time I’ve used dial-up and heard that sound was… 2 days ago when fixing a PC for old people :fffuuu:

I like being technologically advanced.
It helps me “lol” in history class.

That wasn’t even remotely funny.

As far as I’m concerned, MS only made three great versions of Windows for the general public.

3.11, XP and 7.

Mmk.
But it’s true.

Not only was that not funny, it also doesn’t make a bit of sense. Why would tech related knowledge help you laugh out loud in history class? Is your history teacher obsessed with computers?

You think it’s funny that people used to live without technology? It makes me wanna send you back in time to the dark ages or something, see how you lol IRL.

I know, people at school come up to me and ask really easy questions about computers. And it really annoys the hell out of me because i think everytime “I learned that a 8 years old you tard”

sorry for double post but this makes me LOL everytime :smiley:

Yeah, because every society considered themselves backwards and barbaric before today. Now could you please explain to me how a microwave works and change my spark plug without the help of google?

wrong… the first OS with multitasking and plug and play (that really worked!) was AMIGA OS… with '98 it was plug and pray.

i don’t miss '98 'cause NT was better - they made '98 S.E. a BIT better, but it was still crap compared to UNIX or AMIGA OS… '98/S.E. had like '95 and ME a bad and unstable kernel and mostly after every 6-12 month it needed a clean reinstall otherwise it stopped working in most cases. the other side was that it used 16 bit ONLY in native mode, so you’ve never could have used your 32 bit hardware with all of it’s power and never real 32 bit software and the amount of hard disk space and RAM was, due to native 16 bit compatibility only, strongly limited (like it still was with later native 32 bit versions of windows) - no, i don’t miss it…

I really liked Zeus: Master of Olympus

Took me ages to figure out you had to build near roads.

yes, this game was fun ^^

Reminds me of Age of Empires ;p

I used to play the original Settlers with my cousin. Oh wait, that was before '98, nvm.
