nobody really even cares about the windows of 95 do they?

[Wapsie B]

I mean geez, that's like the stone age. ;-)

1. Can you get anyone to clean windows that old?

[Wapsie B]

2. More like put it out of it's misery.

Amazing that pos OS became an industry standard.

4. Was poached eggs and swiss cheese for a couple of years

We'll never have perfection, but I wish they'd take ME back, THAT was a piece of shit test bed for 2000/XP. Nothing sucked more than that band aid crap.

[terrya]

3. I think there's even less affection for the windows of ME

UGH. Yes, I have that on my pc.

8. Wonderful new PC's for $300 with monitor

Some friends just bought the Dell, so happy they cry every time it boots up. I helped them toss their 5 year old PII into the recycle dumpster, and then we had a burning of the leaf goodbye ceremony.

They paid the amazing price of $2200 plus tax in 1999 for a Packard Bell 10GB 64MB 350PII WIN98 at CostCo.

The new one is a Dell 40GB, 512MB, 3.0gHZ with a 17" monitor. $355 with tax and partial shipping and free Lexmark printer.

12. Thank you for the info.

I have a Dell, also. I bought it 2 years ago. So far, so good )knock wood) But I hate Windows ME. A piece of crap. It's sure as hell not going to last forever.

I was thinking of getting a Mac, actually.

17. Macs will never steer you wrong

And with them buying Intel cpu's next year, they will only be different in their operating system.

13. Good lord.

I'm just waiting for laptops to drop in price like that. I'd love to find a nice notebook even a decent refurbished one that was upgradeable.

16. Best Buys and Staples and the "W" store have had nice HP notes

at $400.00. The "W" one is the one they knocked $22 off and it caused riots.

Stupid Federalists.

[Wapsie B]

19. I'll have to check that out.

Thanks.

[Wapsie B]

15. Oh man.

I don't know how Microsoft could release that one with a straight face?

[sundog]

10. Fun days, how much can you get 16MB of ram to do b4 freezing up

[Call Me Wesley]

14. What do you mean?

16MB of RAM? 256 Kb is way enough.

Oh my, I just bent a floppy disk!

:rofl:

[DainBramaged]

18. LOLOLOLOLOLOL I still have a few 256KB sims to show people what

the stone age was all about. The REAL 30 PIN as in pins type with metal shielded chips.

[Call Me Wesley]

20. LOL!

I remember the 'stone age' very well. And when they invented a harddisk with a 1 MB capacity. For an IBM AT, it did cost around $1,000 or so. W00t!

[DainBramaged]

21. oooh, Oooh, even better

Company I worked for 1992, boss wanted more space for letters on his XT, IBM offered a 4mb hd for it. We paid $4600.00 for it. 4 mb ram was $2500 for PS 2's forever.

I had paid $12000 for my car a few years eariler. Amazing what volume can do for pricing.

[Call Me Wesley]

22. Yes,

those were the days ... :scared:

[begin_within]

9. Did you ever see Windows 1.0?

[DainBramaged]

11. I had 2.0 on 5" floppies
