- That is right, I am back after about 3 months!
I thought a fantastic way to return to uploading content would be to do a brief video commemorating the 25th anniversary of the official release of Windows 98.
This Gateway tower is something that I have had for a long time but had not done a video on it until now. I bought this machine at Free Geek Twin Cities for $25 back in December 2019, and it still works great after 3.5 years of owning it.
I am filming this video in my grandparents' bedroom because it must be the most '90s-looking room we have in the house and thought it would be perfect for this video.
Specs of the machine:
CPU: Intel Pentium II @ 300MHz
RAM: 384MB SD
GPU: SiS 6326 AGP Card (8MB)
Storage: 80GB IDE Hard Disk
OS: Windows 98 First Edition - Наука та технологія
1990's vibes!
Speaking of, I wonder if the word "vibe(s)" was widespread back then as it is now?
Very good
Are you using Elastix. Digital phone lines make dial-up connections impossible apart u found a way to convert it.
No, all I did was sign up for the free versions of both Juno and NetZero dial-up and that seemed to make dial-up connections possible. Prior to that while my grandparents do have an active landline, I was never successful to get any sort of dial-up modems to work on the line. I’m certainly no expert on telephony, but somehow signing up for a dial-up ISP enabled the ability to use dial-up modems on our line.
@@computelion6393 I am from middle Europe and analog lines have shut down and been digitalized. I can connect two PCs via modem but not anything else. I may wonder if I could use MSN Explorer to dial in but I doubt it. At least Dial- up needs to be selected as a sequencer and not impulse tone then it should work, but I have my doubts, not to mention since I am outside of the US I have no clue if that would be successful either.
I am completely wondering if the DIAL up number still works. Aren't you getting charged for using it?
Well, I think you are using a normal phone landline with no DSL/glass fiber internet to dial-up- an analog line.
@@efertheredfish2 Oddly enough no I’m not being charged for it, at least not for the dial-up services. Apparently MSN Explorer has a way you can connect their dial-up internet server just through it “authenticating”, which actually allows you to still browse the web while doing so. Although the connection does time out after around 20-30 minutes or so, meaning you’d have to redial into the service after it disconnects if you wanted to keep using the internet through it. As for the landline itself, we are paying for it to work. And I believe you’re right about us having a normal phone landline, which I believe is what’s making this possible, not to mention that I am in the US.
@@computelion6393 That is what I thought. U need to have an old landline ( analog) and no digital phone line.
Awesome!
nice speakers!!
I'm gonna guess that you are a Scorpio.
That is incorrect 😉
@@computelion6393 what is your actual sign?
