Suddenly it's 1998 and I'm back in my freshman year at college with my brand new Toshiba laptop (a high school graduation gift) playing Doom, Quake and Duke Nukem 3D in my dorm room. Just a few years later I'd be swapping horrible-sounding, low res MP3's via my Zip drive to be played in Winamp (It really whips the llama's ass!) on a pair of crappy Altec Lansing computer speakers. Ah, simpler times.

In 1998 I was 11, our home computer was an IBM Aptiva 95 (I loved that PC) it came with a software bundle including games Caesar II and Pitfall The Mayan Adventure among other programs like Encyclopedia Encarta 96. Other games I had were the original Command & Conquer, Wolfenstein 3D, Worms, Virtua Fighters and others I don't recall. By 2001 I got a new PC, a clone tower computer with Windows XP, an upgrade for my gaming and multimedia experience and of course, I downloaded loads of MP3's, my music folder was Nü Metal galore and a lot of Industrial Rock and Grunge, Korn, Limb Bizkit, NiN, Marilyn Manson, The Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Rammstein, you name it. Good times.

One day it just wouldn't connect and it's been that way ever since. (BTW i still own it tho) RIP old computer 2007- 2022

Its probably just faulty Nic card, you could try a wired connection to test it. I have an old Acer 6935g from 2008 and it still works amazingly. It plays 720p videos and can even emulate 3ds and Wii games. It was originally a budget gaming laptop though and could run Modern warfare 2 so that maybe why it still holds up well.

Love your enthusiasm Linus! Thanks for bringing to life some of the genuine excitement of that era in tech. I can still remember how excited I was to get a second-hand CD burner (with a missing faceplate) from my art teacher so I could burn my very first CD of Beatles music that I had dubbed into Sound Recorder from a boombox playing a cassette tape, which in turn was recorded by my dad off the radio from a show celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America. Then actually playing that CD in the boombox, thinking I had just pwned the system. Those were the days!

World's all major companies Including Google , Apple , amazon all investing money in India specially for mobile phones. We use 4g now. Hope we get 5g in next year. But in the rural or village or old aged people or poor people still use 2g or 3g. India has 1.5 billion people. So majority of people use 4G. But we can't completely stop 2g or 3g. Even our internet plan comes with Daily 1.5 GB daily 4g + unlimited 2G ( after the 100% Use of 4g data + 100 sms daily + unlimited call daily to anyone ( with in in india Landline or mobile) + access to all premium apps for free . But the best thing is in the 2G or 3G era we paid for call , sms , internet , apps . And the prise was too high. I can remind 1gb 3g pack cost 300 rupees = 3.38 Euro for 28 days validity. But now we give money for internet only. Other services are free. And the lowest internet pack that is 1.5gb daily costs 5 rupees for a day which is equal to 0.056 EURO. Hope Germany will get 4G and 5G soon. Tell me the price of telecom services in Germany or how telecom operators looting you ?

The Thinkpads have had non-removable batteries for a couple generations now sadly. Everything past the T440 has a soldered in CPU and they're even soldering RAM on some models now, including the T-Series. I've got a T440p myself and love it, but it's not able to run a lot of newer games which sucks. I'm considering just building a desktop rather than shelling out for one of the newer Thinkpads.

I had a Gateway laptop like that. I thought it was awesome! It was the first and last laptop I've ever had. I only use desktops and tablets now. My wife still uses laptops. I loved Windows 95 and 98. Was great for running DOS games. Was a major upgrade from my 486 desktop PC. It was a fun to remove the ball from the mouse as a prank on friends. I hate how thin new laptops are. These thick laptops stayed cool, had great keyboards, lots of ports, drives, etc as you see. New laptops have so little to them hardware wise. Yep. Took a while to burn cds then. If you ripped and burned a music cd to a blank cd, it took as long to burn as it took to listen to the music cd. I played a lot of Seven Kingdoms on my laptop.

But by the mid 2000s and early 2010s they started to factor the tech industry into their "one true way" for EVERYTHING that goes on in society and decided on the exact types and formfactors of technologies that would be allowed, hence why NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO MAKE ANY COMPUTER SYSTEM IN ANY FORM, TYPE OR COLOR NOR ANY OS WITH ANY INTERFACE APPEARANCE OR DEGREE OF APPEARANCE CUSTOMIZABILITY OUTSIDE OF THEIR IMPOSED CANON.

I must have an old Win98 laptop somewhere that was given to me about 15 years ago. They thought it was still very usable then lol! I borrowed a laptop in '97 from my intern workplace for a day. It was a similar compaq affair with very slow dstn display. It came with Age of Empires 1 preinstalled, it was a nice game. My first laptop I bought was from 2004 or 5 and still works, it even runs Windows 7! I played a lot of Diablo 2 on it. It's very slow though with 2GB of memory. After that I got laptops from work and never had to buy one again (I was a network administrator so old hardware came by often). I should still have a dual core from 2011 somewhere. Good stuff!

It sometimes took up to half an hour for one song. This was between phones.... I think mine was one of those orange and white Sony Walkman. Ah, the nostalgia!!!

I was given a CompaQ Armada a while back and it was fascinating. It actually helped me out as it bridged the gap between floppy and USB, which unlocked downloading DOS games for my 3.1 PC. Unfortunately I don't have the time or space to play with any of it these days but it's all still there.

Well, even if you don't have the time or space, there's DOS Box, and Virtual PC (Virtual Box), that can be downloaded and run from your current OS. You can load older OSes on that, or just use DOS Box, and use one machine for all that vintage gaming you might want to do. Hope this helped, even a little. :)

Both were on CRT's so no input lag and games physics were linked to the fps so many ran at 25, 30, 50 or 60 fps anyway regardless of platform. PC games did have a higher resolution but that doesn't matter that much in how much fun you have.

Gosh, this gives me so many memories, from the menu organization to even on waiting 5 minutes for a page to load on AOL. First computer I remember using was running Windows 98, which also happens to be the year I was born. 3-1/2" floppy disks, CD-ROM games, big, bulky printer port connections, SVGA CRT monitors, pressing all the arrow keys to hear beeps, etc. We still have floppy drives laying around, and a sh!tload of AOL update installation CDs in a box. Yes, for 3rd-party software (especially internet-related software, as you actually had to sign in to your email to even USE the internet), if there was an update, you had to buy a new CD to update the software. Very rarely did they have online updates, and if they did, it was never guaranteed to load the whole update as it could potentially drop an important file, and if that happened, you had to uninstall the software (which took a minute to do unlike today), and re-download and install it. Among unrelated technology this brings to mind: film cameras, VHS tapes (and the corresponding VCR players), cassette tapes and players, cell phones that only let you call, and PDA's

I had this laptop as a kid. A really cool feature is that the floppy disk drive could be swapped out for an extra battery. And it ran roller coaster tycoon pretty well!

IIRC it wasn’t until the early to mid 2000s when they started horizontally mounting fans because the vertical fans couldn’t keep the newer processors cool enough.

They aren't "Vertically mounted fans" or horizontal fans... Newer laptops than that used squirrel cage fans, which fits into a smaller profile BUT also make more noise per CFM but they also had stronger static pressure. Before that normal fans would be used because it was thick enough to do that

That IR port is actually quite convenient for short distance file transfers. IIRC Windows 9x had a feature to easily transfer files between computers equipped with those, and transfer speeds weren't so bad. I used it to transfer drivers and whatnot to a half-broken Compaq LTE that lacked any sort of removable drives with a dead serial port.
