… that we all used to use this ass product call Windows 98. My grandparents’ PC (a slim compaq presario which we paid roughly 1500 for a good 5 years ago) has good ol’ windows 98 SE. Amazingly, it hasn’t crashed yet, but it can’t really even deal with the sound device too well (skype failes to get a lock on the sound output sometimes.) It’s hard to believe that our standards were so low. I don’t get the impression that Mac land was much better either.. circa Windows 98, it was still System 8 or System 9, which didn’t have protected memory or pre-emptive multitasking (I think, and if I’m wrong, I don’t care.. all I know is the crap that we had at my high school crashed all the time). Windows NT 3.51 all the way baby.
