• I heard that 98 is still very good, but I could be wrong, I dont plan on updating unless I absolutely have to. Windows 98 has served me well so far. I still have DOS, do any of you remember DOS?


  • DOS? Huh? )

    Windows 98 is basically Windows for the computer literate casual user. If your computer literate and you have important stuff on your computer, NT is the way to go. If you want a coach alongside you while on your computer, its all about XP. However, if you need neither the Coach nor the Security Guard, Windows 98 is more efficient.


  • This is a stupid way to go, but i’ve partitioned my drives. All apps, surfing, and day-to-day stuff is on my windows2000 (i like to do networking on occassion too for some games), but for most of my games they are on my win98. It works ok (tedious sometimes, but overall it’s good - win98 rarely screws up any games).


  • DOS was the best. :)


  • @Yanny:

    I prefer Windows 98 to all Windows OSes. Simple but perfect.

    Yeah, it’s so great that one day it simply decided to forget the program that runs my mouse drivers :evil: . I was not happy. Have you ever tried to operate a windows OS without a mouse?


  • My advice? Downgrade to DOS. :)


  • Why stop there? Just fill your entire room with a huge mainframe, and then feed it punch-cards to give it instructions. :D


  • Ahhhh… the days of vacuum tubes. :)


  • linux/unix is the best!

    davaint:scripter you traiter to microsoft, your avater is from liux!


  • Lack of options. :wink:


  • I actually had to run Windows without a Mouse for awhile. I got really friendly with the Tab key.


  • What seemed to be the problem?


  • Here’s a few of my favorite jokes:

    Bill Gates dies and goes to hell. Satan greets him, ‘Welcome Mr. Gates, we’ve been waiting for you. This will be your home for all eternity. You’ve been selfish, greedy and a big liar all your life. Now, since you’ve got me in a good mood, I’ll be generous and give you a choice of three places in which you’ll be locked up forever.’
    Satan takes Bill to a huge lake of fire in which millions of poor souls are tormented and tortured.
    He then takes him to a massive colosseum where thousands of people are chased about and devoured by starving lions.

    Finally, he takes Bill to a tiny room in which there is a beautiful young blonde with an alluring look on her face, sitting at a table on which there is a bottle of the finest wine. To Bill’s delight, he sees a PC in the corner. Without hesitation, Bill says ‘I’ll take this option.’

    ‘Fine,’ says Satan, allowing Bill to enter the room.

    Satan locks the room after Bill. As he turns around, he bumps into Lucifer.

    ‘That was Bill Gates!’ cried Lucifer. ‘Why did you give him the best place of all?’

    ‘That’s what everyone thinks,’ snickered Satan. ‘The bottle has a hole in it and the girl hasn’t.’

    ‘What about the PC?’

    ‘It’s got Windows 95!’ laughed Satan. ‘And it’s missing three keys.’

    ‘Which three?’

    ‘Control, Alt and Delete.’

    Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Bill Gates all die in a plane crash.
    They are standing before God, seated on His throne.

    God asks Al: “What do you believe?” Al says: “I believe in the earth. I believe if we don’t protect it, the whole earth will die.”

    God says: “I like that, come sit on my left. Bill Clinton, what do you believe?”

    Bill Clinton says: “I believe in people. I believe the people should be empowered. I believe no one has the right to tell someone else what to do.”

    God says: “I like that, come sit on my right. OK Bill Gates, what do you believe?”

    Bill Gates says: “I believe you’re sitting in my chair.”


  • ‘It’s got Windows 95!’ laughed Satan. ‘And it’s missing three keys.’

    ‘Which three?’

    ‘Control, Alt and Delete.’

    Hahahahaha, good one. :lol:


  • @Deviant:Scripter:

    Lack of options. :wink:

    you could always send a avater to desjon


  • I probably will. We need a little bi-partisan support around here. :wink:

    Speaking of Microsoft, is anyone as glad as I am that the case is now over? Now we can spend our money going after real criminals, and not just big-business success.

    Hehe…I’m probably the only one who likes Microsoft around here though… :lol:


  • @Deviant:Scripter:

    Hehe…I’m probably the only one who likes Microsoft around here though… :lol:

    I think your right


  • i don’t mind it.
    have to get software from somewhere . . . .


  • I am not glad the case is over. Microsoft got a slap on the wrist. They deserved to be broken up.


  • Usually I try not to make a habit of copying software… but in MicroSoft’s case I can make an exception… :wink:
