If Windows 98 had anything going for it, it had an amazing startup sound.

The thing I remembered the most about Windows 98 was the built-in themes. They all have unique color scheme, wallpaper, screen saver, mouse cursor, icon set, even sounds. Changing the theme now and then makes the experience fresh, something I really missed ever since Vista. Yes we still had themes but they're very limited: no unique icon sets or mouse cursors, screensavers are a story of the past, they even removed the ability to customize color scheme since Windows 10. Almost every Windows computer nowadays has the same boring look, that's just sad.

Windows 98 was my favourite OS from Microsoft. It retained DOS. It had that modern, esy to see look. It was easy to repair. PNP actually worked quite well; most PNP problems were video cards and scanners. IE was great, better than NS and prettier, too. It truly was an amazing OS.

The fact that much of the retro computing community skips 95 and uses 98, shows how good 98 was.

I think Windows 98 had room to grow especially when the room was finally filled up in the second edition in 1999

It's interesting that you've shown the entire clips for Windows 98 in 16 colors, which makes it look a lot more like Windows 95 visually, and in fact when 16 or 32 bit colors are selected, it looks a lot nicer visually than Windows 95, but anyways. Nice video :)

Used Windows 98 from 1999-2006. I really love how customizable the classic UI was. Still more fun than the current windows 8, 10, 11 UI. The start up screen and the windows logo itself also looked much more artistic.

I used Win98 SE until 2007 when I switched to XP :D. The biggest problems with 98 were the lack of proper memory management, the eventually very low actually addressable memory (max. 512 MB as far as I remember), and the lack of a proper, powerful task manager.

I loved how simple, clean, and fast Windows 98 was. I would still use it to this day if it was compatibale with modern day devices and programs.

Windows 98 was the first Windows I've used. I was born in 1999, and my aunt got her first computer in 2000 that came with Windows 98. I started to use it later (don't remember when, but probably around 2002 or 2003), and I just loved it. Used to draw a lot in MS Paint and play games. She eventually installed XP on it, but XP was running slow, so she reverted back to 98. I used that computer whenever I went to visit her up until 2005 when she got a new computer from her workplace. Good times.

Windows 98 was the first computer I had at home as a kid. I remember whenever anything went wrong it would go into MS-DOS mode, which was like this scary, mysterious beast living in the computer's underworld that was confusing. The best part was when I was stuck on the MS-DOS menus, my older brother would then say: "Quit DOSsing around!" Although I hardly even used it, MS-DOS gives me some huge nostalgia for some reason. It's like older computers had this cranky nuts-and-bolts feature that you'd sometimes be involuntarily exposed to, but are shielded from in modern OSs (unless you specifically look for it). This has recently motivated me to learn Command Prompt and other programming to understand all that stuff I saw and never understood as a kid. Thank you Windows 98 for being a delicate combination of user-friendly enough to get me interested in using computers as a kid, but also being based off of MS-DOS, which left some weird nostalgic imprint on me. It has a special place in my heart.

You didn't mention the fact that you could enter a web site into the File Explorer address bar and the site would load. This was a groundbreaking thing for Windows 98 which then was cancelled due to the lawsuit (if you did this, a separate instance of IE would load). This functionality still exists today btw - your default browser will load with the site you type in. Multi-monitor was great. I upgraded to XP when it came out, but due to my computer specs being pretty basic by the standards of the day, I went back to 98SE for a couple years until I could afford a new computer with a beefier processor and more RAM.

Windows 98 was my gateway into the world of computers and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Every computer that I personally own has a virtual machine with Windows 98 on it for when I want to take a trip back to 1998.

That Win98SE DOS Core came in really handy for me back when I worked as a technician. A little old lady with a Win3.1 box had her computer fail... in 2007. She didn't want a newfangled computer unless it worked EXACTLY like her previous one. We took a Dell Vostro and loaded it with DOS 7.X, which gave us the hardware and software compatiblity so we could put Win3.1 onto the system. We even managed to salvage most of her personal files from her dead system. She got the computer... and then returned it, angry because the cards bounced too fast when she finished a game of solitaire. Turns out the bouncing card animation was clocked to the CPU. It was at that point that I discovered WHY some computer shops will turn down unreasonable or niche requests from customers.

I became familiar with computers through the iconic startup sound of Windows 98. Being blind and visually impaired, that particular sound captured my attention and made me realize the coolness of technology. I was born in ’99, which makes me quite proud to be a part of the final chapter of the 20th century.

Although my first ever used Windows was 3.11, it was 98 when everything really took off for me. My first steps on the internet, downloading MP3s, burning CDs, creating my first homepage, Unreal Tournament LAN-Parties, Online Chatrooms, ICQ Era... Everything started on a Win98 machine so for me it will always remain something special.

Oh I remember "plug and play". Most of the time it didn't work. You would plug something in to your computer and absolutely nothing would happen. You still had to manually install the drivers yourself. I remember having to tell the computer which parallel port to check to find the device at one point. True plug an play came around with XP.

Another great video by NationSquid. I remember using Windows 98 for a time as a kid before upgrading to Windows 2000, and eventually XP in 2007

The computer I used the most in my teenage years ran Windows 98. I remember early on having a fair number of friends still on Windows 95, but Windows 98 was a far more refined OS. Not only did Internet Explorer integrate well with it, but it also paired very well with Office 97. We used that system well into the XP era, and I remember thinking that I preferred the 9x series look to the XP look. Where 95 still looked kind of muddy and low resolution, 98 kept the same minimalistic design but refined and modernized it.

Hi, im a viewer from iraq and i would like to thank you alot for this great work you are doing covering old operating systems, it brings back many memories and is full of valuable information❤

Great video! Thank you for mentioning that the Windows Explorer address bar can be edited without clicking folders, I wasn't aware that was something a person could do!

I know this isn't the focus of this video, but Netscape was also free for personal use. A lot of why Netscape lost the browser wars was that it peaked in quality around version 3 (1997), while Internet Explorer reached feature parity with Netscape at the same time. Microsoft kept improving IE, while Netscape got bloated, and then spent years trying to re-build from scratch. The last old version of Netscape was released in 1998. Between 1998 and 2000 Netscape was not updating their browser at all. Internet Explorer was releasing minor updates to IE through 1998, and there was a major new release (version 5.0) in 1999. Netscape responded by rushing an unfinished buggy version 6 to market in 2000, which didn't do it any favors. After that Netscape was already beyond saving (at least on Windows), while Internet Explorer peaked in quality with version 6 (2001) and rested on its laurels for way too long, opening itself up for competition again from Firefox, and eventually Chrome.

98 was my very first Windows. When I upgraded to ME, it was more of a downgrade! I have a lot of fond memories of Windows 98, I even changed my Windows 10 startup sound to the 98 one, that was a cool sound.

appreciate this video. i'm 38, remember using win95/98se at home. playing quake3 with 150ms ping(dial up!) and the way menus looked. remembering the transition from dos to win3.1 to this. quite the trip down memory lane, thanks!

Plug & Play did not originally mean "automatically install drivers", rather it handled the hardware conflict portion of installing devices (so no manual IRQ settings). Later on, the term started to be used for the overall process of plugging something in and "not worrying about it", such as most flash drives uses a generic Mass Storage driver. Even during Windows XP's days, Plug and Play didn't do a very good job of going online to find drivers (I'm not talking drivers included in the OS here). It wasn't until Windows 7+ that drivers from Microsoft were more readily available.

98 SE was great and probably the pinnacle of the 9x OS

Windows XP Professional was also the very first commercial desktop Windows that came with 64bi version. 64bit Windows NT was actually used much earlier, but that was mainly on servers in datacenters where huge computing power was needed, and the architecture was somewhat different. First personal PCs with 64bit architecture hit the market at 2001 with the release of Windows XP. And only Professional edition came with 64bit version. Home edition was still only 32bit. That changed with Windows Vista, that introduced 64bit Windows to homes as well.

15:37 Minor correction: gigabytes=no; megabytes=yes. The entire drive was only a few gigabytes in this era. Windows 98 installed from CD-ROM was only around 250 megabytes.

All of my experience with Windows 95 at the time was with the OSR 2.0 release which was only officially available on new PCs. Combining that with the IE4 Active Desktop update made the two systems look almost identical and I think an upgrade from an OSR 2.x release to Windows 98 was less justifiable than it would be if you had the original retail version. I remember trying the original release years later and was surprised by what was missing.

I kind of want to own the scanner that crashed Win98 in front of the world. I'd put it in a glass case and show it off in my dining room or something.

Really enjoying this Windows operating system video series. A platform so many of us use everyday, but little is known to the majority of those users. As a security analyst I love doing deep dives into operating systems and their pasts.

windows 98 is basically windows 95 with some minor changes to the OS itself and big changes to the Internet and of course, clippy was introduced, just to be removed

They released Second Edition as the original Windows 98 release just wasn't up to task. It was quite buggy in parts, while many didn't consider it worth the upgrade. It also didn't have much of a life before Windows 2000 and XP came along. I don't recall anyone I knew actually buying Windows 98 in isolation, and rather it just happened to be preinstalled on whatever store-bought PC they purchased around that time. Windows 2000 was also pretty rare on a home PC, whereas XP Home was the dominant variant there too.

As how Windows 98 and Windows ME were the last two OS versions on the MS-DOS build and with ME proving how unstable it was compared to Windows 2000 which was build on the NT build. Windows 98 was pretty much the DOS build OS at it’s maximum potential.

That's crazy to me that IE cost money to use. Win98 is very nostalgic to me and was the first real PC my family got but I really don't miss it. I remember having so many issues with it.

Windows 95 did have the "explorer", too, which had the directory tree on the left. I consider that the *best* file explorer. NB! When you record b-roll from VMs, please install graphics drivers before recording. That 16-color mode looks just awful and nobody daily-drove it like that.

I popped out of somewhere in the early 90s and so 95 and 98 were the first OSes I knew, I loved 98 so much, partly because it wasn't 95, and so there's a spot deep in my heart reserved for it

Windows 10/ 11 still struggles with plug and play. As a hobby music producer I’ve always had to manually install drivers on windows. Mac OS legitimately has plug and play, never had to even think about installing a driver on there for the exact same equipment

Again, what a fun and informative video. I actually really miss 95 and 98 (Well, I play around VMware) but I miss the customization of these products! You really could change just about every little detail, colors, and system fonts...etc...Now, All you can do on Windows 11 is have once accent color (And you don't even have title color title bars like Windows 10) I noticed there isn't a whole lot of accent color shown on Windows 11. You can't even change system fonts - heck even my Samsung phone can do that. Everything now is "light theme " or "dark theme" kind of boring. I also loved that you included the Windows 95 "sitcom" It is cheesy and I love it. RIP Matthew Perry.

I miss Active desktop. The fact that you could have interactive websites as your wallpaper meant that You could have all your fav webcomics and stuff directly on your desktop. Microsoft tried to revive it with Gadgets and Live Tiles, but nothing really compares.

My parents first home computer had Windows 98 on it. Whilst I had been clicking around on computers at my relative's house before that time it was always on Windows 95 or even a Commodore. 98 was suddenly everywhere. Even my school had it.

I was too young during its release, but I remember during its heyday that people considered 98 and specifically 98 SE the best release Microsoft had done, and was a sort of XP of its day. Windows 2000 was relegated to businesses and people skipped ME and sometimes even XP because of the HW requirements and the need for and possible headaches with DOS compatibility. Nobody thought that 98 was just a re-skin of 95. Even I remember very well that when our family computer was upgraded to 98 it had a lot less crashes. Most notably, our machine now had power management and the "It's Now Safe To Turn Off Your Computer" screen was gone, so it was clear that 98 was very different

98 was a big step forward. So much so it got an update in 98se to improve an already good system with better usb support

The problem with plug and play in windows 98 was, in fact, due to developers. Windows 98 offered the possibility to write drivers using windows driver model (wdm) and not having to deal with dos. But this would mean not supporting windows 95 at all, so most manufacturers just stick with dos drivers because they work on both os

I still have a Windows 98 machine at qork with some VERY aincient software from the MS-DOS days. That is the perfect platform to run it on, to this day.

One big feature indicating that 98 is really built almost entirely on Internet Explorer is Active Desktop - you could set webpage as your wallpaper. It would slow down your PC a bit but it is an option. Of course, since 98 Internet Explorer removal is almost impossible... There is a 98 mod without IE which has... 95 UI! Because 98 UI simply won't work without IE.

Back in the day our family had a Pentium MMX machine shipped with Win95, later we learnt that it was one of the newer ACPI and PnP ready motherboards, it came disabled because even tho Win95 had it, support for it was worse than awful (you can't even finish the installation without being flooded with BSOD) the coolest feature was not having to flip the switch on the PSU everytime the computer turned off, it did by itself, like magic. Under the hood had more changes than just the GUI. And that ACPI capability doubled battery runtime on laptops

Windows 98 was the first Windows OS I ever used, it had some fun games like the one with the tank that you used to movie boulders around a map into certain spots. I miss that game. I wrote a lot of fanfiction in Word too and lost all the files and fanart I saved when my dad upgraded the computer to XP.

You forgot to mention one thing and the m ost important. Even so similar to Win95, Win 98 was a huge leap forwards thanks to it's stability. Win95 was a BSOD festival, on Win98 you got BSOD too, but much fever times. Similar great leap in stability was afterwards with WinXP. But that change in stability was key to Win98's success thanks word-to-mouth and in many parts of the world Win98 was totally dominant on household PCs.

There are many parallels between 95 vs 98 and Vista vs 7 in approach and scope of changes, yet public perceptions of those two pairs are WAY different.

PnP has nothing to do with automatic driver installs at all, what it actually was was a bios extension that allowed the BIOS to take control of interrupt ports. In the old days all your hardware would have jumpers and you'd be expected to set things like IRQ Port and DMA Address manually, things were kinda structured in a way that, in most cases the defaults would work but if you tried to use 2 cards on the same port neither would work. PnP simply moved all of that over to the BIOS so during POST the board would scan your cards and assign them a free port automagically, TBC this was added to the BIOS standard, all MS did was write a fancy wrapper that used PnP to ID the card and ask the user to provide a driver (and they did include a bunch of common drivers so older hardware would usually just work).

It's a little bit past my time, but my family had a Windows 98 when I was younger that was left over from before I was born. But by the time I found out we even had computers (aka learning what one even was for the first time), they already bought an XP, but still kept 98 on the side. The whole emphasis with its relationship with the internet is extremely ironic because once we got XP, our 98 was disconnected from the internet and relegated only to playing educational video games, so we kind of knew it as the windows computer that wasn't connected to the internet lol.

Got a new PC in 1998 with, of course, Windows 98. Never updated my computer (what was an "update" anyway?) and still got through Y2K no problem.

I don't really remember using Windows 98, however I plan on getting a retro computer for some old software, and this is the OS that I wanna install on it.

I was a Windows 95 user when Windows 98 was released. For reference, I had a Compaq laptop with a 486DX4 100MHz and 8 megabytes of RAM, and our school got computers with P2 333MHz, 32Mb RAM and Windows 98. Based on my first perception, W98 was an extremely unstable resource hog when compared to W95. When W98SE came out, I would finally see it as a usable option - it still hogged resources like crazy, but at least it offered something in return: good support for hardware accelerated 3d gaming and internet. I also highly disliked the W95OSR2 that included Active Desktop and other features that were so annoying in W98. I actually have two W98 PCs right now, and I think the fact that my Compaq was better than our school PCs was more down to the fact that I maintained and optimized my system a lot better than our school IT guy Zaven.

It has to mean something that 98 is my go to "old Windows" over 95. It's pretty much what I default to when messing with older hardware/software and the UI tweaks that carried over into modern Windows are way more comfortable to me.

I love 98se. It was actually my last Windows OS. When I first installed XP, I found out 90% of my games would not work or had no sound, as DOS support sucked at the beginning, and that was a huge problem at the time, where a lot of games and software was DOS based. I returned to 98, and in 2005, before 98se EOL I switched into Linux, as I found out about DosEmu which worked really well for DOS (DOSBox was too slow and unoptimised for my computer at the time). Never went back to Windows again, but I still keep some virtual machines and even some old laptops with DOS, Win3.1, Win95 and Win98

I still have some old PCs with Windows 98se.98SE solidified Windows 98, it was rock solid based on the DOS kernel.I still use legacy OSes offline for older gaming and is more user friendly.

There was no DVD video support in Windows 98. They supported DVD drives out of the box so you could access files on DVD without software. To watch a movie on DVD you had to buy PowerDVD or WinDVD.

We had this system on out first family computer. I really liked it has multiple themes to choose - not just color and wallpapers, but also cursor and sounds :) . From POV of a kid who used computer mostly to play games, Windows 98 was great, as many games available to me in the earty 2000s, like StarCraft, Settlers2, Icewind Dale or Quake worked without any problems. It was not so great from POV of system administrator. Not only anyone could create an account (just write login and password, you already have your own account) but also everyone has administrator rights as default. While it works great for games, it's not great for the security. You have absolutly no control over who installs what and you never know if your computer got infected because someone tried to be cheap and installed a pirated game.

I remember downloading the windows 98 upgrade from irc warez channels. There were so, so many cosmetic upgrades between win95 and 98 that it was literally a night and day difference. It was a major graphical overhaul. You didn't change the color depth in your win98 install so of course it's gonna look like win95. Menus no longer just popped up, but they slid out with a smooth animation. The title bars were no longer a single color but an aesthetically pleasing gradient between two colors. The quick launch icons on the taskbar came standard instead of having to install the IE4 upgrade on win95 to get them. You slick dropped the ball on this one homie.

Windows 98 is to 95 what XP Pro is to XP Home. On the surface it's more or less the same with the latter adding in more power-user features that your average single computer family just had no need for. Compatibility for software was basically universal between 95 and 98 and all purchased hardware would come with driver disc's so plug n pray wasn't some desperately needed feature. Honestly, the only real feature 98 had that average users truly need is updates and by 2000 plug and play actually being somewhat useful. But of course with XP coming out based on the highly stable NT with its radical new design it just made more sense to upgrade then for most people.

Windows 98 also had multi-user support, which didn't exist in 95 or 3.11. Although not with a permission system like in NT, it had the ability to set things like your own desktop wallpaper, shortcuts and other settings. For a family sharing the same computer it was a game changer.

I quite liked windows '98 when I was a kid, i only remember a couple crashes and other weird glitches, it seemed like most of my games and programs functioned like they were supposed to overall, especially my DOS games which to me were at their peak.

You forgot to mention FAT32. Windows 95 did not support disks larger than 2GB. Also one more important note is that Windows 98 was considered somewhat more stable than its predecessor (whether that's actually true or not is subject to debate but to many it appeared that way) - and that alone was for many people a reason to upgrade.

Windows 98 also introduced more than 256 color support on the desktop as Win95 only lets programs take advantage more the 256 colors. Win98SE is also the OS of choice for retro gamers as it can play DOS games all the way up to early 2000s games. To me Windows 98SE is the greatest OS ever.

98 SE is nostalgic and brings me back to a specific point in time for me.

I never had 95. Went right from 3.11 to 98. I don't think it can really be explained what a leap in technology that was

Dont be sad about Win 98, Fun fact: many programs from windows 98 are still used in/part of windows 11

The complaint about Win 95 was that despite being marketed as a 32bit OS, it actually retained much 16bit code. Win 98 was set to be fully 32bit though I am not sure if MS succeeded.

2:04 when you were a kid and used the 3rd option and chose LAN on the next screen, you know you had it made

The reviewers that thought it was a minor upgrade to 95 must not have spent much time with the new OS. It was so much more stable and that itself made it worth the upgrade.

I have Windows Millennium on a Pentium IV and I can tell you: 1. All ms-dos games that are not speed sensitive to CPU run perfectly. The best video cards for Ms-dos compatibility are the Fx series from GeForce, for sound you need an Aureal Vortex 2, Sound Blaster Live, Audigy 1 or to have a pentium IV motherboard with an ISA slot. 2. Windows Me does not blue screen when you remove the CD, usb stick or floppy while it is being read. 3. It has wireless keyboard and mouse support. 4. The location of a driver is saved. 5. The usb stick does not need a driver. 6. I do not recommend the VDM drivers because there is no longer support for sound in ms-dos, but with VDM you can use advanced stand by functions (suspend to ram). 7. Any usb joystick does not need driver. For Ms-Dos you need a joystick connected to the game port. 8. Windows Me is the most stable, I tested it after installing many programs and games without restarting and it didn't crash. 9. If I had to choose another retro operating system, it would be Windows 95 and in no case Windows 98.

In early to mid 2000s I knew many people who still had Windows 98, but I didn't know anyone who had Windows 95 at that time.

98SE was the end of an era. Last "good" Windows OS that fully supported DOS programs natively as well as early win32 applications.

11:15 I had win98b. Over 3 painstaking years found the cause the ‘blue screen of death’ and made my own patch for every time I’ve had install it on newer PCs. I found the bsod was windows confused on audio software. It was 1 incorrect character in a file deep in the system.

I worked in a PC repair shop in the early 2000s so Win98 and WinMe were the bane of my existence.

I really love Windows 98. I have that is since when I was a little girl.

For a certain era of vintage computing, I believe if a computer was able to handle any 9x, I use Windows 98SE. Any older and it's DOS 6, any newer and it's Windows XP. In some edge cases where ram is low and I want networking without a lot of hassle, then Windows 95A (before they added FAT32 or USB).

My first windows, my first computer, come straight from it to XP, don't remember any negatives, I still prefer its Start Menu to Xp. The simpler design reminded of the time that windows just a software to use software. It did not feel like it a social experiment to control my life.

Windows 98 was a big part of my middle childhood. I was introduced to the Internet, educational software (incl. Microsoft Encarta and Mavis Beacon), 3D PC gaming, graphics editing, music editing, programming, and game modding. And I learned so much about computers that I became the "computer wiz" of the family, heh. When I built a virtual machine for my childhood software as a kind of archive, I was originally going for 98 SE as the OS, but because of issues with DirectX, I switched to XP. To my delight, tho, almost all of my Win 98 stuff work on XP (incl. Welcome to Windows 98), and believe it or not, you could port Win 98's Web View to XP, lol.

I was an IT Support man in a company in 2000s. And we still used many older PC at that time (Pentium 1 and 2 era machines) with windows 98 SE... Because all that users needs are MS. Office and email.

At our school the IT guy said Windows 98 was just more internet dependent, making it less secure so, we didn't need it... But he retired soon and the new guy got a new lab of Windows 98 SE computers. Personally I loved how much more stable it was. I only had to format and re-install Windows 98 on my personal computer about every other month, it was a great improvement of the stability arguments I had with Windows 95.

Widows 95 was a hard act to beat. Along with figuring out that streamlining programs in the "start button" they had the rolling Stones "start me up" for the ads soundtrack... Plus it had Easter eggs like the music video for Weezers buddy Holley to show off it's video features. Doom ran turbo charged... It was a good time to be a geek lol

I was doing support during the windows95 and 98 days more so for 98 and maybe you just had to be around during that time but 95 and 98 had very different feels. The best way I can describe it is that 95 feels like your grandpa's os and 98 felt modern. On the surface 98 does not have a drastically different look but from a support and use case perspective 98 is way way better and most users felt this way at the time. During the 98 days I honestly much preferred to support 98 over 95 as it worked much better with hardware at the time.

Windows 98 RTM was a bit uneven, but 98SE was as close to perfection as the DOS-based Windows line ever got.

I recognized "Beauty Flow" immediately. I love the way your videos are edited, the way you speak is clear and engaging, I just absolutely love your content :3 Even moreso since you add the song names in the description! ^w^ Keep up the good work

i dont know where you was back in 1998 but win98 was a massive improvement to 95, never had a feeling that it was similar or just a slight update. It was so much more than that at the time as it is now.

Windows 98 was the last Microsoft product I ever used. It was nice to not have to manually set up winsock to get on the internet.

I still have my old Windows 98 PC and occasionally boot it up for some older games that don't really work on newer systems.

Im a retro gamer and I swear by Windows 98 SE. By far the most reliable system for games between 1995-2002

Man I mean it's great that we can see you on the video, but aren't you putting a bit too much of yourself? It's like there's more of you than the visuals that concern the topic, or maybe 50/50. I can't even concetrate on what you're talking about Windows 98 cause it's so intermittent. It was so much easier to focus on the topic in older videos, but yeah in those we couldn't see your face. Is there maybe some middleground? So that we can still see you but not as much so the visuals could be more about the topic?

I was around for Windows 98. No one at the time thought of it as just "a re-release of Windows 95." Windows 98, and especially Windows 98 SE, were far superior to 95 and were viewed as such at the time.

I love your videos about Desktop Operating Systems. I expect you to continue this trend and talk about macOS next, but nothing's certain. I would be a fanboy if you ever decide to dedicate some time to create a video about Linux.

15:34 Gigabytes lol Great video! I'm still using Windows 98 SE. It's the best DOS based OS. Only offline of course.

Internet Explorer 5 was an amazing browser.

I have the Windows 98 Plus Shutdown sound as my default Android alarm sound. Something about the Plus addon Microsoft just got right.

So many people must’ve hopped on the windows 95 bandwagon back in the day. We had windows 3.11 until we upgraded computers in 1998 and got Windows 98. Skipped ME and got XP, skipped Vista and got 7, skipped 8 and got 10.

even though I was there when all of this happened, it's really great to see a video documenting what happened too 😉😉😉😉 I had a Tandy 2500 SX/33 that I added a CD-ROM drive and a 28.8Kb/s modem, during a time when people and ISPs were going to 56Kb/s modems and we got AOL service, it took us an hour to get online and took a second(or nanosecond, I'm not sure) to get kicked off!! 😂😂😂😂
