Windows has changed a LOT over the last 24 years - but not nearly as much as some of our staff. What will they think of an operating system that predates their birth?

I didn't realize Jake was that young. It makes sense why Linus adopted him
😅🤣😆😂
Yeah, I'm shocked to know that he is only 3 years older than me. Kinda gives inspiration
Wait he is one year YONGER than me??? What???
Linus ain't that old either...did he do commodore 64 or just visit one...
I think it is for a joke
Never in a million years would I have guessed Jake was 22. With the responsibility he seems to have given to him and how capable he is. Wow
I know right. Thought he was 25-27 something
He looks like a 38-year-old trucker...
I knew he was 17 when he started working there, didn’t realise it had been 5 years already.
He was doing LTT in high school?
If he is this knowledgeable now imagine him in 15 years
He was still in high school when he was hired at LTT. His responsibilities reflect how long he's been working there.
This windows 98 looks clean!
- No Ads
- Simple to the point user interface
- Very quick to load anything even on old hardware
When is this being released? At last Microsoft is on point and heading in the right direction! HYPED!
Quick compared to ? And what software exactly?
There wasn't t much more than Win98 to compare with. MS DOS ? Widows for Workgroups ? It was just as fast or slow. Games took a while to load (as they do now, but that's a different story). Win NT was also just as clean and fast loading stuff. Linux was pretty hard to set up… but just as clean and fast. Even cleaner. macOS? Fast. Clean interface.
Windows 7? Windows 10, Windows 11? Fast, clean interface.
Mac OS X, any version? Fast Clean interface.
Any Linux desktop out-of-the-box? Fast, clean interface.
Unless by “loading” you mean loading web pages… which would have been a tad difficult with Win98 in the beginning and was a real PIA later when internet finally appeared. I am not sure if you recall the times of Mosaic and CompuServe. It was a torture to load a proper web page. Then came IE and Netscape… anything but “fast loading” . And that in the rare cases when a page actually loaded, and you didn't have to reload it several times… We mostly used IRC, Usenet and mailing lists for anything serious.
You can have an interface as clean as you want it, that's a personal choice, not something inherent to the operating system or desktop environment.
Also: Many times slow loading performance is a self-inflicted illness when we stuff our computers to the brim with antiviruses, firewalls and “security” software meant for threats that don' t even exist anymore, when simply enabling Windows Defender is enough on any Windows version since Windows 7. Of course, if you use to visit questionable sites or click on emails from Nigerian princes, no antivirus will safe you. I worked for Symantec in the mid-late 2000s, that's how I know. I have also been using Windows 7 and 10 professionally for a very long time without a single case of infection.
TL;DR: Don't clutter your desktop with “themes” and don't install silly antiviruses, and you will have a clean interface and your programs will load fast.
Win95 was worse@@VFella
@@VFella Win 98 was quick if you had reasonable hardware.
@@dannygjk Oh, I didn't know that. Learned something new, for sure. I'm an IT professional, BTW. I have used Windows from Win1.1 on all sorts of hardware. And it wasn´t that there was much to choose back then. And I seriously doubt that it would beat MS DOS or MS DOS plus Novell Netware or Win NT, which was what it was competing with. Not to mention Mac OS 8 and later Mac OS 9. The latter was so nice that I installed myself a Power Macintosh G3 (the green one!!) in 2006 to use along WinXP.
Nah, dude, computers were terrible slow back then. And it wasn't just the perception from somebody used to modern top-notch hardware, it felt slow back then too.
@@VFella With each iteration of Windows they increased the demand the OS put on the hardware. I expect when I go to Win 11 I will need a super computer to maintain the same performance.
249.99 for a backpack? Are you serious?
I love how everyone is struggling while Anthony is straight up lecturing the viewer about how windows 98 used to work. what a chad
I want to see them try dos to be honest. That's what I grew up with

He is infinite years old after all. 😉🤣
he's certainly 'next level'
@@vardekpetrovic9716 DRDOS was always a good choice.
It's hilarious to see everyone, including Linus, struggle, and then see Anthony explain it as effortlessly as reading off a script XD
Anthony is the GOAT
Maybe because he's a script writer?)))
Anthony ☕
Infinity years old 😁
I relate the most to Anthony on this video tbh.
Man ... this was something else. Thank you so much for making this episode. I honestly really miss that time and really nothing brings back that nostalgia like the awesome themes that Win 98 came with. I remember Jungle was my favorite.
I can't help to think about my father when I watch this. He was a PC lunatic but he was swept away by his job. We bonded shortly over computers and a few days before he died, our last real conversation, was about the PC and the ability to upgrade.. Man he would kick himself if he knew that his son would grow up to be a PC enthusiast and I have dedicated my life to the platform... RIP dad.. 22 years went past fast, greetings from your now 33 year old son
may his soul RIP 🙏
I love how this is 3 people confused and Anthony just showing you around as if it is his daily driver. It’s like he’s showing you around his house
I mean, let's be fair, if win98 was a house, Anthony and LGR would be living next to each other. XD
@@IngwiePhoenix if win98 was a house, ...I'd burn it down. sorry, can't go on with it. without the nostalgia factor (and intentionally installing it for some retro setup), neither antony nor clint would happily install vanilla win98 to enjoy as their daily driver. 98 was a horrible mess on release; less chaos than 95(+patches), but a pain in the butt until OSR2(.5)
For those of us that were into computers back then. Win98 was really where we learned to hack and tweak the OS, about Windows networking and the old winsock reset fix when all else failed (similar symptoms and cause as today's need for -flushdns on ipconfig). I doubt any of us that cut our teeth on that OS and it's predecessor will ever forget either. They were tedius enough to build muscle memory.
@@GutnarmEVE i agree, my retro gaming goes back as far to XP. XP is still good to this day (execpt the security flaws )
@@GutnarmEVE Windows 95 had OSR releases. Windows 98 had one Service Release and then Service Pack 2.
I love how Emily was in her element the entire time, but the moment CnC comes up she just immediately gets even more focused.
@Henry-Atkinson:
I'm a mechanical man :-) .
ua-cam.com/video/iGuuOdD6iY4/v-deo.html
(Yeah, I'm grooving to the song :-) ).
there is a remastered version for that one but I really hope they do Tiberian Sun next or just a new C&C game
@@jhonshephard921 See I wish EA weren't such greedy bastards and weren't milking the IP for all it's worth with "remasters" that could be accomplished just as easily with free upscalers and community mods.
I'm mainly just salty that, in order to legally purchase C&C Generals, which the me of 2004 didn't have the hardware to run, I'll have to pay for the full C&C collection--half of which I already own--and play it through their stupid launcher.
Anthony is GOD!
@@GSBarlev The C&C Remaster was well done and fairly cheap, the original game is a pain in the ass to get going and the fan made versions like OpenRA are solid but it isn’t the same. It was a good love letter to fans, Tiberium Sun was kinda unfinished when it came out so a remaster that finishes the work they started would be great.
I still use dxdiag. I mainly use Linux now days, but during the days of Windows 98, I quickly learned that dxdiag was the only place that gave you all of the important specs in one place, and I've used for every version of Windows since, even though that's not the case anymore. Much easier than trying to figure out where that information is every time a new version of Windows comes out. Window+R -> dxdiag. So much faster than trying to figure out where they hid it this time.
On a side note, I really appreciate that you had someone doing this who knew pretty much everything. Things like the internal cable from the CD drive to the sound card are little details that most people never even knew were a thing!
Me 2, still use dxdiag. Every time I get a new work computer and I need to see what spec they actually gave me.
I use dxdiag to check what graphics card is installed. Before I switched to linux I used to use win7 until mid 2023. For a while I was forced to use win10 at work and I couldn't be bothered to find where the c drive was so i just used win+r and typed c:
I'm 40 and basically had the same PC upbringing as Anthony. Appreciate these vids. I actually still use old XP VMs for work stuff to connect to old equipment.
Anthony launching C&C and going "I don't really need the barracks" has this menacing energy about it, like he's going to speedrun it in 0.6 minutes once the camera stops rolling.
IKR, bloody loved that. In that generation you could bork the game by editing the config files, which weren't compressed yet. I loved playing Tiberian Sun with an AT-AT firing blue lasers at obscene range. 🤣
@@InservioLetum oh I think I still have a floppy full of different versions of ra2.ini somewhere. It was a primitive version of game modding.
I would bet good money Anthony is or was a spring player. Basically community improved and balanced C&C with way more robust netplay. I was introduced to it like 20 years go and it's still going pretty strong.
Anthony was actually on his 4th game when they cut back to him and was about to start a blindfolded run when he was told to move on.
I spent so many hours playing C&C:RA back in those days. Loved it.
Hearing other 22-year-olds asking such questions as "what is dial-up" or "Is [Command and Conquer] an RTS?" has really made me understand what people feel when they say they're old.
I know, huh... Like the "play CD audio from the front panel" challenge. Man that one had so many "oh crap, I'm old" moments.
"It sounds really good" -- yeah, 'cause it's not a 96kbps stream from a subscription service played over a Bluetooth keychain fob. It was CD audio. :-)
* loads Windows Media Player * ... no, you can't use that, because the front-panel analog audio port won't work.. Er, right... see, CD-ROMs had analog playback before we all used DAE. Oh, um, DAE is "digital audio extraction", which reads audio data directly from the CD instead of ... * sigh * So, a CD is a disc that has music on it. But, like, you can use it offline ... which is ... yeah, so, "offline" ... OK, imagine going into airplane mode, but it's like 24/7...
Oh yeah, I know the feeling. Some months ago I had to explain to a 26 years old girl what a floppy disk was, in that moment I realized that I'm starting to pile up years xD
I know I was born in 99 and used xp, 98, dial up, and have known about C&C forever. I'm like "how do you not know dial up?" Also dial up was your phone connection as well, so that's why you could use the pc as a phone and make calls. Even though it would sound absolutely terrible.
Just ask him what modem bonding is, that will stump most
@@mima85 lol what? I'm 27 and remember my dad having piles of those and having few myself with some dos games 😄
I was introduced to old computers like this through my grandmas old PC that ran windows 98. I never had the PS/2 mouse needed for it, but I did have a PS/2 keyboard and quickly got used to using the keyboard to navigate. I really wish I still had it but its' CPU gave up after a few months. But it had the same kind of front cd drive with dedicated 3 mm jack and volume. I also discovered that with a cd player like the one you guys have, that even in dos mode, the audio from the cd player will still come through the speakers if you press the physical play button even when not actually in windows 98. It also had a Zip 100 floppy drive on top of the normal floppy drive. It was very cool to use.
I was so ahead back then , but thought I was way behind. Using 95, 98, learning Unix and HTML and using Macs too I can't believe how much time has gone by.
Awesome how everyone is trying hard and Anthony just tells a story on every thing they had to do and knows how to do all of them really well.
Indeed, so much that makes me think he's my age! but no, he's quite younger (I'm 50). It's just that IMO this man was a fantastic wise nerd already at the time of birth.....! :O
It's like all tech he ever interacted with is indexed for all eternity in that beautiful mind of his.
@D Now that you say it... I started college (or uni, as we say in EU) in '91. I ended High school (tho the length of that varies from country to country) dunno if in '90 or '91, as classes begin on September. So, even Windows 95 was not something that existed for me till almost ending college (I handled DOS and the arcane and previous Windows 3.11). Lol, I even remember yet handling some DOS based graphic programs in 4th college year. I ended Fine Arts in '96, but should have ended in '95, I believe (made a first year in maths career, then changed my path).
But somehow he seems a tad younger than 50, dunno... I've always imagined he'd be around 30 - 35 , lol.
@D Sorry the late reply, been busy... It has been a particularly warm summer (still on it ofc). But really, I live in the warmest area of Spain, southern EU, we got 40º- 45º C every summer, with peaks of 47 sometimes (in Seville and Cordoba, only, and 40 -42 _max_ (in summer) usually in the rest of the half southern part, including Madrid, the north is cold and rainy...Except this year!! ).. It's been just like that. Honestly, the main difference in my south area (but people in Galicia (north) are not used to this) has been that it has been longer, for longer days, and that that the hottest days have been sooner. But not higher peaks. Right now we have a few days with very good temps (32 - 36) for this time of the year. The worst issue (that's why we're getting so many fires) is the lack of rain for a very long time. The water dams (reservoirs) are close to empty in the south (14% or so, and in some places it's 1% !, average of 40% sth in the country). But of course, it's _much_ worse in Africa. In the rest of EU, well, it's crazy, as they don't get ever these temps. In satellite view it can be observed how the south-east of England has become yellow, instead of green (from that view). And in much northerner countries (Finland, etc) they have had people suffering from this (in some countries even with heat strokes), as for them 35 C is a heat wave. Just like for us 20 or 30 C below zero is absolutely terrible (my winter gets 0 degrees as lowest, only 3 or 4 days). The entire continent has had struggles with climate (and I'm afraid each year is going to get worse, it's the change). But it's that we're used to very moderate conditions and no disasters, while in Asia, Africa or America, a lot more disasters (floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc) happen. Right now the issues are fires all over EU, mostly due to the very dry weather and that the land has been abandoned, as few people working on it leaves a ton of combustible vegetation (dry bushes, leaves) that used to be cleaned by the animals and the people. Bad timing with the energy issues and the war. But we'll manage.
The more LTT videos I watch, the more convinced I become that Anthony is a walking encyclopedia.
He is a genius I swear
Funk and Wagnalls or Brittanica? 😆
Anthony FTW!
His age being displayed as ∞ (infinite) at 2:32 just makes sense.
Some of us were there when the old magic was written
I would've so enjoyed using Win 98 all over again! I'm to-be 25 in a couple of months (so, pretty much the same age as the OS itself) and the fact is to this day feels the most familiar to use. I did upgrade to XP in November of 2002, but 98's just filled with irreplaceable moments.
98 was so good. Like, literally never had any issues with it, everything worked as it should.
Loved this little blast from the past. When Win 95 came out, I was working at Bell Atlantic supporting Compaq computers. I remember having to help people get their computers upgraded from 3.1 to 95 on the Prolineas and Proliants.
I flipping love Anthony's way of explaining everything as easy as possible so everyone understands.
I aspire to describe old tech as well as Anthony.
The "A" in "Anthony" is for AWESOME!!
@@steveg6199 I'd say it's probably "Ancient"
Haha Anthony is the goat!
Anthony coming in and explaining things like he's holding my hand makes me feel safe
Anthony actually knowing his stuff and going on to educate, gets cut off by the other's shinanigans. Great video guys!
hehe
I totally feel ya on the file sharing over network, i got it working but only after huge hastles, and it was so sensitive that any changes to the network like restarting the PC might affect it.
Anyone else loved to watch the Disk Defragmenter run as a kid? When a bunch of blocks would be collected and then reappear fast, so satisfying
My dad loved it so much, he also used it his on USB thumb drives.
jep
Still have that urge to defrag. It really did feel pretty good. And it definitely felt like everything ran faster afterward. Because the blocks changed color. Of course it's faster now. Problem solved.
I used to start it before bedtime, and fall asleep while watching it. I turned out normal despite that
Yep, but when hours turn into days you lose interest pretty fast. "Defrag not completed as it is full of errors". You get so frustrated you FORMAT C: and lose everything.
Wow, Jake is much younger than I thought he was. What a brilliant young man...
I was literally pausing the video as I couldn't believe it.
Yeah, I assumed he was in his 30s, he's just a baby compared to Linus 😂
ua-cam.com/video/_DIO9JZgek0/v-deo.html
A while back I thought he would be at best a -98'er and more likely to be born in 1996-1997 because IIRC he started at LTT right after school but alas.
He has the look of a man who will look the same for at least four decades. People looking at his pictures far in the future will have no idea when that picture was taken just by looking at his face.
17:58 there was even dedicated program that slowed those old games to be playable on high-clock CPUs. It was called "moslo". For Win98SE there was even unofficial service pack made by community, which added a lot of quality of life features from WinMe, 2k and XP.
I remember that my dad created a briefcase for me and my brother to keep stuff in. We didn't know about the syncing stuff so one day we synced against nothing, and removed all content from the briefcase. Never used it after that. Ah memories.
I love that Anthony knows everything and is casual about it. Dude is the best.
It's his PC.
I love that his age was the infinity symbol. Thusly proving that Anthony is, in fact the modern deity of computing. I am making a screen saver with a spinning Anthony head so my computer can pay homage.
I would watch a 25 min anthony with just him playing old shit and talking
Man Anthony is just like google for computers. He's amazing. It was fun watching people play around with old OS systems.
The first OS I ever used was Windows ME. Spent a lot of time in Microsoft paint and windows media player. I also remember having a bunch of CDs for software that came with my computer purchase. From there I went to XP and then two windows seven. Switched over to Mac for about nine years and recently came back to Windows 11.
man... ME. What a terrible shit show that was. I was given an old Dell Optiplex that had Windows ME from an old childhood friend/girlfriend. I figured I'd give it an honest go to see if ME was actually as bad as what everyone said it was. It didnt last a week before I nuked it and installed 98.
Actually CD-ROM drive audio can be played outside PC, you just need power and headphones or speakers, but speakers needs to bye amplified/powered because signal is quite weak. Used it years ago on old car battery or any trafo from old radio .
These poor, tiny, lost children trying to play C&C. "Am I the boat?" "What's going on?"
...And Anthony is just whipping out the strats from memory. Love it.
I appreciate this comment so much. I was playing C&C two days ago for nostalgic reasons at work and I had post millennia babies asking me what game I was playing. I had to refer to Starcraft 2 for them to know what I was talking about. I was proud to tell them that this is the RTS king that started it all.
It's burnt into our brains.
Just like the music!

I remember "config sis" and in the bios format, or format/u to wipe the hard drive :) Things like that come back to me seeing this. Thank you!
DXDIAG was what you were looking for on the hardware information if I'm not mistaken. Might've been later only in XP tho.
Edit: Ayyy i posted that before I watched that! I still use that heavily...
imagine the time they're recording this, everyone else is a bit scared on how they're going to do this... anthony on the other hand...walked through the door with a smile on his face, just pure smug and i love it
Everyone else, even Linus, is struggling and asking how they do something; Anthony is providing all of the back story to how the drivers worked. Knowing the right Soundblaster profile to work with his sound card is the biggest flex in this whole video.
@@robertdavezac Yep, he even got that obscure bit about the CD players right, left out that some (most that I saw) had the play/pause button on the front, if the system was powered on you didn't even need Windows to play a CD.
Username checks out
@@robertdavezac I'm absolutely with you - excpept for the Soundblaster Pro Settiing. Everyone playing games with some kind of Soundcard in his PC knew that back in the day- it was the inofficial standard every sound card had to comply to be useable for games for years - and therefore only such card would be bougth by anyone in the first place. Sound Blaster compatible was typically written on the package, Soundblaster Pro meant it was stereo, as far as I remember.
I love listening to Anthony explaining stuff and then going to everyone freaking out. It is perfect. He just has such a calm voice and knows this stuff still. Great video
Anthony is the consummate technology expert. He encounters something old and explains as fully as possible in the given time, the context and functionality.
@@vinnietedeschi5374, I think he's an attention seeker. He was meant to be a part of this segment but he put on his "Docu-voice" and explained all the things nobody asked him to.
@@MaffeyZilog Says the Dude writing a comment nobody asked for. Oh wait so am I :0 ...it almost seems like we all need a bit of attention sometimes. Also its literally his job to explain stuff. If you dont like him thats fine but why make up some bs pschoanalysis?

Great and fun video. Ofc, some of the users are very knowledgeable IT people with very successful YT channels. Thanks to them too for helping me out on my latest PC build.
I love how she changed the font colors to the point that she couldn't read the text. Everyone who was ever on Windows 98 did that to themselves at least once, lol.
Aweeee! I forgot about the hourglass next to the cursor😂🥰
And next it happened was with night mode in apps.
Guilty
I used W98 a lot and never did it :P
agreed that yellow or light blue made it so bad haha
Anthony: "I can't right-click the taskbar and get task manager."
Yes yes, enough about Windows 11, what about Windows 98?
luckily ctrl + shift + ESC works, that's literally the only way I know how to open the task manager on Win11
@@MikeDawson1 it's the simpler way tbh
Right click the start button
@@MikeDawson1 Right click start and chosse Taskmanager from there. Not hard to find out.
@@MikeDawson1 Right click the windows icon on the taskbar.
Windows versions that had this classic version of theme manager allowed you to make a complete and functional DARK MODE.
I have XP on old offline computer that is used for diagnostic software for my car.
Made a dark mode theme based off the Adapta-Nokto GTK theme.
The fact that Virutal Sound Canvas was installed on that PC really makes things clear about the person who owned it.
Jake is only 22....?? No way!
I'm in Anthony's camp age wise, 98 was my first real OS I used as a kid, it was pretty awesome----back then of course. So much better than 95 IMHO.
Me too, 95 in school, 98 at home. Then xp for ages.
I know right!!!! How the F*** and I older the Jake. I turn 24 this month and I'm still in collage.
Man I feel old and useless in comparison to Jake.
How would you know it's so much better than 95 if that was your first one? I mean, you downgraded later?

When someone says, you remember ten years ago and I'm like "Yeah, we used windows 98, it was really cool!" Then you realize that was over 20 years ago and you're old.
I had luck in my life that I was born in the nineties and that my father was an IT enthusiast. In the nineties, we used the latest and powerful Windows systems for that time. My father, the IT enthusiast, was engineer for me at this time. He really mastered Excel and Windows and he taught me a lot. The bookshelves were full of books "for dummies" (if you remember that kind of books) from which my father solved all the problems we had with the computer at that time. Today, I am an IT specialist and my father does not know the latest Windows systems. I "broke" his computer several times, but he always knew how to fix it himself, with a little help of those books. Today it is the other way around. He helped me so that I can help him today. I like the video.
Thats awesome! He brought you up well.
You the real MVP! 🗿
My story/background is exactly like yours. My dad was the IT enthusiast, who would buy the latest and greatest to learn for his job requirements as he didn't have money to pay for seminars and get CE's, so he just taught everything himself pulling all-nighters via books like the For Dummies series and a few others, and in turn also taught me things along the way. I am now a subject matter expert in my IT MOS in the Army while also managing an IT business full-time and dabble with AI/ML while he enjoys his retired life sticking to Win7 and reminiscing the good ol' XP days haha. But all that I was able to achieve and accomplish was all on the foundation he helped me build. Crazy how some of us come from completely different walks of life but still end up with astonishingly similar backgrounds/foundations just from the years we were born and the era we grew up in lol.
In 1998 I got a computer from The Catholic Church that had an "evaluation build" of Windows 2000 Professional - I had the baddest OS of all my friends and it was my first real computer.
This describes my childhood pretty well too. the 90's were an amazing time to grow up with computers and the internet.
My first hard drive was 10 megabytes. When it broke, we upgraded to 60 megabytes. It could keep multiple Sierra games installed at the same time. It was great!
9:03 Bro. The jack on the front of the optical drive always worked. This way:
- you could use them as CD-players when you were working on something or could make a bricked computer useful
- you could troubleshoot if the thing actually worked or not, sometimes handy when that cable, or soundcard, or software setting was the issue. So signal didn't go through the system.
I always loves how Anthony explain something.. he makes it more interesting and easy to understand.. I wish Anthony is my lecturer..
He reminds me one of my computing tutors at Uni back in the late 00's when I was a mature student. Made things so easy to understand (this was hardcore network stuff too!)
This video made me feel so old though. I was in my late teens when 98 came out!
His ability to be in explanation mode is great.
Few things in life make you feel like successful talker like explaining computers to your mother's friend. I remember trying to explain trying to find fault in her computer and ending up saying "Computer is yeah, one device but it is actually like... a BUNCH of devices even in the same one board this laptop has... And you just have to figure out or guess where the issue is and pray it is not something I as humble semi-free support can do stuff about."
Luckily, it usually is hard drive and I may extra luckily have a spare I do not need nor need to be paid extravigantly for but that one time someone with laptop says "Someone said it might be the GPU, can't we just replace the GPU" to which I answer, in very different manner, "Yes, if we were Louis Rossman, but we are in a country with zero Rossmans so pray it is not that."
Anthony is really a walking PC knowledge library. I wonder if I could remember that good if I try 98 again as he does. But I mean is was directly on 98 SE as I get my first Windows PC, avoid the PC for a long time in the 90s.
Anthony should just have an online class for computers, ok I kid but still....
@@SumeaBizarro Similar experiences here, except... usually it's not hard drive. usually it's a software problem, so a fresh reinstall will help. If it's not that, it usually is either RAM or some unspecific "must be something wrong with the motherboard because we ruled out everthing else"...
Whoever edited this episode deserves an Oscar for nostalgia. Excellent work.
Edzel did the editing on this one
@@westonjones6670 you meant Aprime.
The pipe screensaver was so nostalgic
Anthony reminds me of some of the dudes I went to high school with around 1998. Like I was pretty savvy with Windows since 3.1, but guys like him would come along and have to explain the 3.5mm jack on the CD drive (which to this day I still don't get why it's needed)
Everyone is making guesses and trying while Anthony easily dives deep into ANYTHING in front of him, damn I love Anthony
That's my vibe and I love it.
Briefcase was NOT used for syncing PDA's. That's what ActiveSync was for. Briefcase was for floppies. You would bring your work docs in the floppy, run briefcase and it would update the files with the one in the floppy. Then you work with the files on the Briefcase and sync with your floppy when done.
It was supposed to be simple. Nobody ever used it AFAIK.
@@mrdownboy I think you could also use it via network (in the loosest sense, i.e. not only Ethernet but also Null-Modem-Cable etc.) which actually would be the preferred choice if you had the option. To do it with floppies was just an afterthought to accomodate those less fortunate. Ultimately it was intended for laptop users, I think, and I also doubt it was used much at all.
I love how Anthony knows everything as if he coded the OS himself. Virtual high five, my man.
Everyone who used these systems professionally (in IT or IT adjacent roles) knew all this stuff about their system(s) of choice. You had to to use the system effectively. Many professional users and developers today are so isolated from the underlying system and only know their applications and the few system things they need to use those applications effectively :(. In the Windows 3.x, 95, and 98 days, knowing the hardware and OS to a ridiculous degree was pretty standard.
@@BrianBlock totally agree.
@@BrianBlock That wasn't just true for professionals. Every serious gamer knew every hidden $#!t of those OSes. Because they had to.

Fun story, I let my mom use my gaming PC for typing up a document... she walked away from the computer for a few minutes and when she came back a virus had infected the computer. She called me at my friends house (on a land line phone lol) and was freaking out about it. I asked her what she saw on the computer and she described the pipe screensaver. She was legit scared and almost crying cuz I had saved up my own money to buy it myself and she thought she broke it!

I was waiting for someone to say that “ohhh it’s the OneDrive!”
@@lcrazy8l I made a comment in another post but it was more often used in business settings to sync network drives to laptops as laptops did not have mobile internet available to them or it was too slow to use. So YA it is almost EXACTLY like OneDrive/Dropbox.
Pretty amazing when you consider how everything is constantly connected to the internet now. Just wasn't the case back then.
@@thestig007 Less less impressive when you grew up before the internet but I know my kids have a hard time comprehending it. The impressive part of the internet for me is the access to information.
I am more impressed with the computing power of my phone in my pocket.

The iPhone triggered such a SUDDEN massive leap in that market it is more jarring than going back through old versions of windows on a PC.
@@YKSGuy You're definitely correct there. The smart phone brought computing to a totally different level. For better, or for worse...
The worst thing about this is that now I have Windows 11 with all its bells and whistles and cool modern features, but when I need to change some settings I still have to go into some obscure dark corner of the system that looks *exactly the same* as I remember it from Win98. Like do you need to change some network adapter settings? Here we go, let's go through the Win11 interface, pass through the remnants of "Modern" UI into the XP-looking control panel and happily into the ancient setting window to change your default gateway. There are PC icons from all eras of Windows spread around the Windows 11 settings like easter eggs. The damn copy/paste progress window when copying from an attached device still has the Vista design. 😀
nothing is better, exept for grandma
Windows 7 was the best windows, it was fast and very user friendly.
Windows Vista was the best windows...if you had the right machine to run it. I believe that's the OS that introduced most of the modern changes, but it was a resource hog and had some bugs to go with it. They cleaned it up and rebranded it as Windows 7.

"Some" bugs? I'd get locked out of using the task bar on a regular basis.
And I could have done without "modern changes" like removing the friggin "Play" button (!) in Sound Recorder (and only allowing files to be saved as WMA, because who uses regular, uncompressed wave files, right?).
Ahhh, Windows 98… Let me say that I didn’t start with MS Windows until 3.1 and later Windows for workgroups 3.11. I actually used the Windows 95 Beta (Chicago) for over a year and there were parts of the release that the beta did better. I used NT 3.51 at the office until they upgraded to NT 4.0… and later 2000… Windows 98 SE was a nice stable gaming platform in the day and I still use it in a few VM’s as I like some of those old late 90’s games.. that won’t work with later versions. I had XP forever (and still see some companies using it) and love it too… I had a friend tell me I was nuts when I bought my first notebook because I chose XP over Vista… but I never had a problem (still have the notebook in fact) but he had nothing but issues w/ Vista… Hell, I only ran Windows 7 for about 4 years before my office upgraded to windows 10 and I finally upgraded my personal system to use it.. Now I’ve moved over to Mac… though at work I still use Windows 10.. I know I’ve used some older versions on newer systems. Man do they run fast.. Let’s face it. I ran Windows 95 on a 486dx4-120… w/ 20 megs of ram (I believe I still have the boards and 30 pin simms somewhere in storage). Hell, my first hard disk was 120 Megs.. seems like a long long time ago now… got that system when my Daughter was an infant.. she’s over 30 now.
amazing how much stuff came pack. I never used the breifcase, either. fond memories of quake 2 multiplaying with 50 people.

yeah the audio jack on the front of the CD rom was independent of the PC, if you had the play buttons etc on the drive, you could just plug some speakers into it and have a CD audio system, like we did in the workshop. it wasn't until like 98 OSR2 that you could do digital audio down the 40 pin IDE cable.
You try this CP&M or DOS 3.1 LOL And don't forget the fun we had setting jumpers on ISA cards to get the Serial or Printer (LPT) ports to work! And what fun dialup was!

@@gongandfriends I can't tolerate laugh tracks any more. When i go back and watch old comedies that I used to like, just can't do it any more because once you're aware of how ridiculous and pointless the laugh track is, you can't undo. Even if i still like the show and it's still funny, just can't get past more than 5 minutes because of the laugh track.
TBH the UI customization in Windows95/98 is way more sophisticated than from Vista to now (XP had an option to use the old 95/98 UI). 95/98 let you change the color of most any UI component and the font of most any UI component. Windows 11 only dreams of being that customizable. Yea Stardock Windowblinds/Curtains is a thing, but that doesn't even work on Windows 11 these days. Hopefully Microsoft is addressing the lack of customization in Windows 12... but I doubt it.
@@Mr.Morden "95/98 let you change the color of most any UI component"
I have that feeling in 50% of the cases, that's true for old movies, music or books, too. Some stuff didn't age well, some I've grown out, but some holds up really well and I realize quite often that there was more to it
One of the games I played on 95 and 98 was Star Wars Rebellion and I still play it on Steam with the same graphics, just an optional battle system doesn't work properly anymore. Baldur's Gate was in that version also still a lot of fun, until I got the enhanced version, now I'm used to that^^
The most annoying thing when I tested an old version again, was actually the Firefox interface with a separate search bar ;)
"They really throw you into things without any explanation."
The explanation was in the manual. They'd have the all the info you'd need to get up to speed in the manual. Some included the basis for the plot.
@Okabe Rintaro Video games still have soul... There's plenty of indie games with a lot of heart. Just avoid shit from EA, Ubisoft and the like.

@@Omar-fi9tl this
I've tried to play and enjoy new games and I just can't. They're all so boring to me now. 28 years old, haven't enjoyed a game in 5+ years lol
And the manual would have solid 50 pages and you'll read it while you were waiting for the game to install. I remember in the case of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, if you were installing both GDI and NOD sides (assuming you had HDD large enough) on a standard CD-R drive, you could read both manuals, re-read what you did not understood and eat the pancakes your grandma made you, and then you could play. Such a good times when printing in manuals was 1000x better graphics and it gave you all the backstory and tips on how to position buildings, units and whatnot.
My childhood IBM still runs W98 (it was the only family computer till 2008) and I still sometimes play Sims 1 and Moomin games etc on it when visiting family. As a kid I remember being so scared of all the different system pop-ups that said "program has performed an illegal action and will be terminated", I fully thought the police were after me 😂
Feeling special since I started from DOS with Norton Commander, then Windows 3.11, 95 and on Win11 now :-) Going from Trident ISA video card through RTX 4090 brings lots of memories..
My college roommate and I used to record ourselves saying things backwards in sound recorder and use the reverse feature to see how close to "normal" it would sound. That was a "fun" Friday night back then.
Didn't own a PC, but friends houses we'd play Worms, or Dark Forces, Carmageddon or Half Life. Honestly mostly what we did was find all the civilian characters and kill them while avoiding the enemies because 13 yr old boys don't change.
My friend and I did this too when we were 10 or so! Good times
This sounds like an awesome party game or drinking game actually
I did it with music
Holy crap, as soon as they mentioned recording audio I received a wash of nostalgia of doing this. Was great back in the day metaring what limited options we had in life.
About the "I know this" scene from Jurassic Park: The "Unix system" she was using was Irix. Looked fictional, was real, although the 3D file manager was very much optional. I once used a SPECT scanner whose original control box had it.
It's also the OS on SGI computers, which were common in the film industry at the time.
Yea. UA-cam randomly recommended me some videos about it and written media said that thing wasn't real back then altough it was.
I was a Linux consultant back in the day, my first client had an SGI system running Irix as well as a few linux systems.
Yeah
You can tell they were really proud of their 3D capabilities so they made that fancy-ass 3D UI lol
I’m actually working with Irix 6.5.30 which will always be the Unix of choice (though HP-UX is a close second). All hail 4WDM
The file manager they used in the movie was called fsn, and somebody made a version for Linux called fsv
It was indeed a Unix system
I did, there is a tiny tiny cable to connect from the cd/dvd drive. That carries the digital sound. Then the front jack on the cd/dvd drive will work properly.
I remember playing games on Windows 98, such as Thief: the Dark Project, Baldur's Gate, Warcraft II, Civilization II, and Heroes of Might and Magic III.
Some of those I played all the time then and haven't looked at since and others are classics that I still play now. Heroes of Might and Magic III remains a favorite among my friends and family and we still play it together during visits.
That 98 startup sound is nostalgically powerful and still sounds fantastic.
8:17 That's why before you do your actual recording, you hit record - wait for it to finish - then hit record again. This extends the length of the file. Keep doing this process until it's long enough (say 10 minutes) for your desired recording. You can then save this file as your template. Open it up, do your recording of long content, then use "Save As" to create a new file that doesn't overwrite the template you created. This is how I created a huge library of "Ripped" music before you could even rip music.
To make this faster you can use the insert function to double the length of the file.
You actually could, just set "Line out" in audiodevices as a source.
Was way easier to make few second recording and then just keep clickin the slow down in edit and save.
I still jump through some of these hoops voluntarily because I have never been confident that operating systems ever became more efficient.
man, all that fun customization was one of the reasons I purged Windows 11 from all my devices and went full Linux... My desktop has windows that jiggle like jello when you move them, I've got a nifty vaporwave color scheme... for a while, closing my windows would incinerate them, but I switched it to a simple little scanline glitch-away effect. I've even seen someone on Reddit using CSS to turn the GNOME desktop environment into a Windows 7 look alike. The customization is insane.
3:40 Fun fact: Briefcases were a feature that existed all the way up to Windows 10 1607 (the option to create them was removed in Windows 8, but existing ones would still work) before they were removed along with Homegroups presumably because Microsoft wanted to promote OneDrive for file sharing and backups
Yah and I am salty about that, I still used Briefcases and have zero interest in OneDrive or any other cloud based nonsense
I still used to setup homegroups until just a few years ago, I learned the process while trying to setup a lan party while playing Quake 2 with my bros.

Those were the days when trying to get a game to run, either in DOS or Windows, were what really taught you about computers. Especially the difference between Enhanced and Extended memory, why doublespace is a bad idea, and why you shouldn't use the arrow keys to turn in DooM.
I’m glad to be past that, but it was amazing remembering to show my kid Sailor Moon Doom. Best version of Doom hands down.

msd (microsoft diagnostics) > winmsd > msinfo32 (current name) is still available.
Remove fading so the os doesnt feel sluggish, yes still a must in win12.
Audio inputs for system AND programs keep trapping up ppl all the time to this day no matter what OS, just look at online meetings or when ppl use projectors, however the CDrom audio was very special.
Briefcase as a special thing for PDA (gasp I didnt know) a typical thing built in because MS want to be "modern", PDAs was on the verge of a breakthrough in the early 2000.
Likewise MS didnt like internet and was VERY late to the internet, asking ppl to use dialup to MSN instead, it would be interesting to see the group try to install a network card+drivers and set up tcp/ip on that machine, it was not always that smooth.
Celeron was the low budget processor.
There was always a bit of a competition in the offices I worked at over who had the 'coolest' tile (repeated over whole screen). I ended up collection several hundred of them, kinda miss those days.

Anthony and Linus are the real MVP's and I would love to see more of Anthony and Linus in going over the nostalgia of Windows 98 as they show the most excitement in all facets of the operating system. Thank you for the look back into the past.
Pro tip from a 90s kid: For sound recorder, if you press the record button when it's paused or while it's recording, it adds another minute of recording time from your current time. My friends thought I was a computer wizard when I showed them that.
And all this time I saved a one minute file then opened it back to get two minutes and so on to get enough time. 😅
When I showed someone that they can only write text in Paint when not zoomed in I was called a genius.

Oww, i also remember i also made some money with it. I would type college student projects with it and get paid. Word processing was really new and rare back then. My parents were college professors, so i had lots of customers. I had learned how to type with a type writer before my first year in junior high, so i could type really fast😂.
