Re: What's your 20?

I think it's XP/2000 only. Seriously, though...Win98? Time for an upgrade, man! Leave off the Detroit and get a new PC instead!
No good reason to go to 2000. I have over $10,000 in professional software that Bill Gates wants me to throw away :rattle:just to upgrade to XP. Thanks, But No thanks, Bill! I'd rather fund my own philanthropic (AD)ventures some day.
XP makes the Old Microsoft bloatware (Win 98) look like a lean, mean, trim operating system.
The only reason I would even consider XP would be if I was using my Pcs for video, which I am not. Or if some EPA mandated software came out that I had to use, that required an upgrade. So far I have been lucky in that department. In some ways it is getting the point where I am becoming one of the few remaining Win98 Tech Experts left around.
I still have Win 3.11 on my custom GC lab data aquisition computer at my shop. (GC = Gas chromatograph).
Actualy I still have my first XT clone (1990), with that huge 20 MB hard drive, and my fathers patented 1963 Talamatic computer, which I am saving for the Smithsonian (its the only one left in existance that I know of). I also have a SW Tech 1980 computer of my fathers in storage. He used assembly language on it to write his code. He was a real hard core programer, even used Cobal.
Anyway, my XJs (85 and 87) and my Ford, (73) are still way older than my 98 Wins operating system! LOL.

And none of them are as old as I am!:laugh2:
Oh, almost forgot, my favorite, most used computer (the one I am on now) is still just a Compaq 166 mhz pentium 1 laptop! I have 10 of them. I do have several newer faster computers, but this one still runs I everthing I need and use, and it runs as fast as I can move, type and read.
