Windows 98? For everyday use, why would you? Use the classic them in Win7. If you have legacy software to run then VMWare or VirtualBox.]]>meagain2015-12-17T15:21:12-00:00Re: Anyone still using Windows 98?

I haven't tested it but I think phpbb3-based forums like 4tech, WinBoards and BA should also work.
I know there's the retro fun and stuff but don't you own a smartphone or something? Wouldn't that be better?
Anyway, it's not up to me to decide and this is kinda off-topic now...]]>meagain2015-12-17T16:08:16-00:00Re: Anyone still using Windows 98?

At least with Android you get custom roms to update that don't slow your device down. My Galaxy Mini, whilst not my primary phone any more, is running Android 4.4 (it came with 2.2). I remember trying to run a copy of Windows 3.1 on it from WinWorld using some glitchy version of QEMU for android. It did boot eventually, but was too slow to be usable.
8 computers? I have more than that. Here in the UK you can get a decent core 2 duo machine for about $20, including 2GB RAM and a 160GB HDD + Windows 7 Pro (legit). None of my monitors cost me any more than $10. The most I have ever spent on technology is $40 on a SSD, which looking back was probably unnecessary. I picked up a nice Core i5 laptop the other day for $20. Nice machine.
Smartphones, however, are massively expensive here. Most phones you can buy in the US/Canada cost the same number of dollars as pounds so we end up paying basically twice the price. Second hand stuff though is a lot cheaper.

http:// www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/how-downgrade-iphone-ipad- ios-7-ios-6-3469837/ if you want to risk it.
iPhone 4s sell for $120 still (in the UK) so you might be able to get some cash for it then buy an Android phone - I highly recommend a Moto G.
PC every month? Wish I could. If I spot any good deal I'll jump. Someone was selling a i7 inc. delivery for $15 the other day working with GTX250 but I missed it Did manage to grab a new server though.
Me and another user from 4Tech are going to buy a 2socket quad-core xeon server soon for 4Tech if demand increases. With 16GB RAM and a total of 16 hyperthreaded cores.]]>meagain2015-12-17T19:10:52-00:00Re: Anyone still using Windows 98?

2)MY Win 98SE is installed in VirtualBox, and it runs smoothly.
3) Couple of scientific apps I need cannot be executed under Win 10 nowadays, including EditBase for DNA, Intend for lab chemical preparation.
4) Personal comments: I love DOS and Win9X.
i) I still use Lotus Works 3.0 routinely for daily work.
ii) I install iDOS 2 in my iPad and run DOS and Windows 3.1 smoothly.
iii) I use Win 98SE for the copy of DNA star I have and ImageTools form U. of Texas San Antonio for protein gel analysis. None of them can be executed under Win10 anymore.
Good old days are good for good reasons...]]>Chiishen2021-07-31T01:06:39-00:00Re: Anyone still using Windows 98?

It really was a decent OS.
With a modern broswer, it would do most anything I might need.]]>AppleSeed2021-08-04T13:29:42-00:00
