Yeah, I'm shocked to know that he is only 3 years older than me. Kinda gives inspiration

Wait he is one year YONGER than me??? What???

Linus ain't that old either...did he do commodore 64 or just visit one...

I think it is for a joke

I mean, let's be fair, if win98 was a house, Anthony and LGR would be living next to each other. XD

@@IngwiePhoenix if win98 was a house, ...I'd burn it down. sorry, can't go on with it. without the nostalgia factor (and intentionally installing it for some retro setup), neither antony nor clint would happily install vanilla win98 to enjoy as their daily driver. 98 was a horrible mess on release; less chaos than 95(+patches), but a pain in the butt until OSR2(.5)

For those of us that were into computers back then. Win98 was really where we learned to hack and tweak the OS, about Windows networking and the old winsock reset fix when all else failed (similar symptoms and cause as today's need for -flushdns on ipconfig). I doubt any of us that cut our teeth on that OS and it's predecessor will ever forget either. They were tedius enough to build muscle memory.

@@GutnarmEVE i agree, my retro gaming goes back as far to XP. XP is still good to this day (execpt the security flaws )

@@GutnarmEVE Windows 95 had OSR releases. Windows 98 had one Service Release and then Service Pack 2.

Quick compared to ? And what software exactly? There wasn't t much more than Win98 to compare with. MS DOS ? Widows for Workgroups ? It was just as fast or slow. Games took a while to load (as they do now, but that's a different story). Win NT was also just as clean and fast loading stuff. Linux was pretty hard to set up… but just as clean and fast. Even cleaner. macOS? Fast. Clean interface. Windows 7? Windows 10, Windows 11? Fast, clean interface. Mac OS X, any version? Fast Clean interface. Any Linux desktop out-of-the-box? Fast, clean interface. Unless by “loading” you mean loading web pages… which would have been a tad difficult with Win98 in the beginning and was a real PIA later when internet finally appeared. I am not sure if you recall the times of Mosaic and CompuServe. It was a torture to load a proper web page. Then came IE and Netscape… anything but “fast loading” . And that in the rare cases when a page actually loaded, and you didn't have to reload it several times… We mostly used IRC, Usenet and mailing lists for anything serious. You can have an interface as clean as you want it, that's a personal choice, not something inherent to the operating system or desktop environment. Also: Many times slow loading performance is a self-inflicted illness when we stuff our computers to the brim with antiviruses, firewalls and “security” software meant for threats that don' t even exist anymore, when simply enabling Windows Defender is enough on any Windows version since Windows 7. Of course, if you use to visit questionable sites or click on emails from Nigerian princes, no antivirus will safe you. I worked for Symantec in the mid-late 2000s, that's how I know. I have also been using Windows 7 and 10 professionally for a very long time without a single case of infection. TL;DR: Don't clutter your desktop with “themes” and don't install silly antiviruses, and you will have a clean interface and your programs will load fast.

Win95 was worse@@VFella

@@VFella Win 98 was quick if you had reasonable hardware.

@@dannygjk Oh, I didn't know that. Learned something new, for sure. I'm an IT professional, BTW. I have used Windows from Win1.1 on all sorts of hardware. And it wasn´t that there was much to choose back then. And I seriously doubt that it would beat MS DOS or MS DOS plus Novell Netware or Win NT, which was what it was competing with. Not to mention Mac OS 8 and later Mac OS 9. The latter was so nice that I installed myself a Power Macintosh G3 (the green one!!) in 2006 to use along WinXP. Nah, dude, computers were terrible slow back then. And it wasn't just the perception from somebody used to modern top-notch hardware, it felt slow back then too.

@@VFella With each iteration of Windows they increased the demand the OS put on the hardware. I expect when I go to Win 11 I will need a super computer to maintain the same performance.

It's like all tech he ever interacted with is indexed for all eternity in that beautiful mind of his.

@D Now that you say it... I started college (or uni, as we say in EU) in '91. I ended High school (tho the length of that varies from country to country) dunno if in '90 or '91, as classes begin on September. So, even Windows 95 was not something that existed for me till almost ending college (I handled DOS and the arcane and previous Windows 3.11). Lol, I even remember yet handling some DOS based graphic programs in 4th college year. I ended Fine Arts in '96, but should have ended in '95, I believe (made a first year in maths career, then changed my path). But somehow he seems a tad younger than 50, dunno... I've always imagined he'd be around 30 - 35 , lol.

​@D Sorry the late reply, been busy... It has been a particularly warm summer (still on it ofc). But really, I live in the warmest area of Spain, southern EU, we got 40º- 45º C every summer, with peaks of 47 sometimes (in Seville and Cordoba, only, and 40 -42 _max_ (in summer) usually in the rest of the half southern part, including Madrid, the north is cold and rainy...Except this year!! ).. It's been just like that. Honestly, the main difference in my south area (but people in Galicia (north) are not used to this) has been that it has been longer, for longer days, and that that the hottest days have been sooner. But not higher peaks. Right now we have a few days with very good temps (32 - 36) for this time of the year. The worst issue (that's why we're getting so many fires) is the lack of rain for a very long time. The water dams (reservoirs) are close to empty in the south (14% or so, and in some places it's 1% !, average of 40% sth in the country). But of course, it's _much_ worse in Africa. In the rest of EU, well, it's crazy, as they don't get ever these temps. In satellite view it can be observed how the south-east of England has become yellow, instead of green (from that view). And in much northerner countries (Finland, etc) they have had people suffering from this (in some countries even with heat strokes), as for them 35 C is a heat wave. Just like for us 20 or 30 C below zero is absolutely terrible (my winter gets 0 degrees as lowest, only 3 or 4 days). The entire continent has had struggles with climate (and I'm afraid each year is going to get worse, it's the change). But it's that we're used to very moderate conditions and no disasters, while in Asia, Africa or America, a lot more disasters (floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc) happen. Right now the issues are fires all over EU, mostly due to the very dry weather and that the land has been abandoned, as few people working on it leaves a ton of combustible vegetation (dry bushes, leaves) that used to be cleaned by the animals and the people. Bad timing with the energy issues and the war. But we'll manage.

Anthony ☕

Infinity years old 😁

I relate the most to Anthony on this video tbh.

I know, huh... Like the "play CD audio from the front panel" challenge. Man that one had so many "oh crap, I'm old" moments. "It sounds really good" -- yeah, 'cause it's not a 96kbps stream from a subscription service played over a Bluetooth keychain fob. It was CD audio. :-) * loads Windows Media Player * ... no, you can't use that, because the front-panel analog audio port won't work.. Er, right... see, CD-ROMs had analog playback before we all used DAE. Oh, um, DAE is "digital audio extraction", which reads audio data directly from the CD instead of ... * sigh * So, a CD is a disc that has music on it. But, like, you can use it offline ... which is ... yeah, so, "offline" ... OK, imagine going into airplane mode, but it's like 24/7...

Oh yeah, I know the feeling. Some months ago I had to explain to a 26 years old girl what a floppy disk was, in that moment I realized that I'm starting to pile up years xD

I know I was born in 99 and used xp, 98, dial up, and have known about C&C forever. I'm like "how do you not know dial up?" Also dial up was your phone connection as well, so that's why you could use the pc as a phone and make calls. Even though it would sound absolutely terrible.

Thats awesome! He brought you up well.

You the real MVP! 🗿

My story/background is exactly like yours. My dad was the IT enthusiast, who would buy the latest and greatest to learn for his job requirements as he didn't have money to pay for seminars and get CE's, so he just taught everything himself pulling all-nighters via books like the For Dummies series and a few others, and in turn also taught me things along the way. I am now a subject matter expert in my IT MOS in the Army while also managing an IT business full-time and dabble with AI/ML while he enjoys his retired life sticking to Win7 and reminiscing the good ol' XP days haha. But all that I was able to achieve and accomplish was all on the foundation he helped me build. Crazy how some of us come from completely different walks of life but still end up with astonishingly similar backgrounds/foundations just from the years we were born and the era we grew up in lol.

In 1998 I got a computer from The Catholic Church that had an "evaluation build" of Windows 2000 Professional - I had the baddest OS of all my friends and it was my first real computer.

This describes my childhood pretty well too. the 90's were an amazing time to grow up with computers and the internet.

I appreciate this comment so much. I was playing C&C two days ago for nostalgic reasons at work and I had post millennia babies asking me what game I was playing. I had to refer to Starcraft 2 for them to know what I was talking about. I was proud to tell them that this is the RTS king that started it all.

You would bring your work docs in the floppy, run briefcase and it would update the files with the one in the floppy. Then you work with the files on the Briefcase and sync with your floppy when done. It was supposed to be simple. Nobody ever used it AFAIK.

@@mrdownboy I think you could also use it via network (in the loosest sense, i.e. not only Ethernet but also Null-Modem-Cable etc.) which actually would be the preferred choice if you had the option. To do it with floppies was just an afterthought to accomodate those less fortunate. Ultimately it was intended for laptop users, I think, and I also doubt it was used much at all.

He reminds me one of my computing tutors at Uni back in the late 00's when I was a mature student. Made things so easy to understand (this was hardcore network stuff too!) This video made me feel so old though. I was in my late teens when 98 came out!

His ability to be in explanation mode is great. Few things in life make you feel like successful talker like explaining computers to your mother's friend. I remember trying to explain trying to find fault in her computer and ending up saying "Computer is yeah, one device but it is actually like... a BUNCH of devices even in the same one board this laptop has... And you just have to figure out or guess where the issue is and pray it is not something I as humble semi-free support can do stuff about." Luckily, it usually is hard drive and I may extra luckily have a spare I do not need nor need to be paid extravigantly for but that one time someone with laptop says "Someone said it might be the GPU, can't we just replace the GPU" to which I answer, in very different manner, "Yes, if we were Louis Rossman, but we are in a country with zero Rossmans so pray it is not that."

Anthony is really a walking PC knowledge library. I wonder if I could remember that good if I try 98 again as he does. But I mean is was directly on 98 SE as I get my first Windows PC, avoid the PC for a long time in the 90s.

Anthony should just have an online class for computers, ok I kid but still....

I’m glad to be past that, but it was amazing remembering to show my kid Sailor Moon Doom. Best version of Doom hands down.

@Trucker Dave Yes, Sailor Moon Doom da bomb 🤣 I remember playing that with my online friend back in the day (now ex-husband). So nostalgic, was worried that others have forgotten about its existence.

yes BUT that is an issue which still plagues Linux to this day
