    • @heinrichagrippa5681
      @heinrichagrippa5681 10 місяців тому

      Sure, it was fun at the time - when you couldn't conceive of what using a computer would be like 28 years later. However, I think if you were dropped in the '90s and had to use a computer like this full time, you'd mess around, play a few dos games, go online and find it all quaint and charming for a while. Then the novelty eventually wears off as it becomes clear there's no streaming, no video at all really. Just crudely animated rotating skull gifs and jpgs that load one row of pixels at a time over the course of a couple minutes. There were some simple games that ran on "Shockwave" (a sort of proto-flash player). Then there's the frequent crashes, very limited hdd space, having to keep track of all your physical media - for instance, installing Microsoft Office off of - and I'm dead serious - _forty-five_ floppy disks. If the stars are aligned, it goes smoothly and only takes a few hours, but more likely you'll get frequent disk-read errors and have to keep re-trying until it works. And if even one of them just won't read at all no matter what you do, you're screwed.
      Anyway, I could go on for several more paragraphs about the extreme limitations of using '90s-era computers, and the countless inconveniences you've never had to deal with. Though, on top of all that, you have no mobile phone (theoretically you could have one of those giant bricks with a 20-minute battery life, but those are rare and expensive, so you almost certainly don't). Also, the internet uses your landline, so when you're online, _nobody_ can call you, nor can you call anyone, and sometimes when someone tries to call while you're online, you lose your internet connection. Step outside and you're on your own: no gps, no way to look anything up, no way to call people except for pay-phones and the phone numbers you've either memorized or carry around with you. (If you're lucky, there's a giant phonebook that _might_ have the number you need.) If you want to hang out with friends somewhere, you have to agree on a precise place and time, and if someone is late or slightly misunderstands the exact 20 foot radius they were supposed to go to, that's it, they're screwed, because with everyone out and about there's no way to contact each other.
      Yeah, anyway, the point is there are so, _soooooo_ many things you take for granted which you don't even realize or think about because for you they've been there since birth, but you'd become _very_ aware of if they suddenly weren't there.

    I'm 60. In 2009 or 10 I went to the home of a friend's parents to help take care of them. In an upstairs bedroom I discovered a Gateway PC, running Windows 98, and still turned on (no internet connection though). It was a complete PC outfit. It had the Gateway tower unit, the Gateway monitor, Gateway keyboard, and a Gateway mouse. There was also the quick start guide, whatever that would be called, plus the original manual and original receipt. Also a Gateway Country foam rubber promo cow. There was also a printer, which I think was an HP. The documents folder was empty except for 2 documents created in the year 2000. The whole thing was a time capsule. I should have rescued it when I had the chance. I'm sure that the man who later cleaned out their house, threw it all away. I have no doubt.

    You could create your own dial-up ISP by using a two port ATA device (like one of the Cisco SPA devices) and configure one port to connect to the other and use a computer as a dial-in server on one line to receive calls on. The first two generations of Apple's UFO shaped Airport Extreme routers have a modem on them that can be used as a dial-in server (just setup the PPP dial-in settings). Windows computers can also be used by adding incoming connections to the network connections control panel.

Since i didn't have a phone. But i remember it was so slow and the connection errors were so often! But that didn't stop me. It would take 5 minutes just for the UA-cam page to load.

    Holy sh*t Windows 95. My 1st exposure to Windows after having a PC built in 96 or 97. Can't believe there are people who are still using it. The dial up modem tone certainly launched many memories, like having a telephone bill skyrocketed to around $100 (exactly not common if you used phone for... phone call at that time). And of course downloading 10-20 MB Nintendo 64 ROM may took about 30 minutes. Nowadays you can easily download 1 or 2 GB files less than 5 minutes. Ahh... good old times :)

This is just such a beautiful example of something that, to me, represents him and a hobby he always took pride in, and to hear that it came from your grandparents makes this that much more meaningful.
    Wow, I've never seen someone take the time to sync the refresh rate to the frame rate. Legend!
    NO F'ING WAY... IS HE REALLY GONNA USE AND AOL FREE TRIAL FROM 1997 IN 2022?!?! JUST WHO DOES TF HE THINK HE IS?!?! SIR YOU HAVE MY SWORD!
    WHOA you got that fresh 5.0! ...I remember every single icon on the ribbon. I could navigate through this just as fast as any other interface that I currently use on a daily basis, so deeply is it etched into my psyche.
    Dang that sounds like a nice modem.
    Too bad that it didn't work! It WOULD be sick to check that email... could you imagine?? The fact that you got it all the way to dialing up makes this, still, such an incredibly invaluable treasure. Just WOW!

It was still basically new besides years of smoke and then dust. I cleaned it up like I didn't the last time I pulled it out (which was for an hour)this time I opened it up, upgraded the ram from 512mb to 4gb and installed an old Radeon 7750, re-pasted the cpu (found the old thermal paste to be intact after removing the heatsink.. oops) but it is as it has been since my dad set it up. Same account, same name. Same apps installed. Makes me happily sad. Nostalgia is a bastard.

    You know what ive found crazy is that, you needed to practically be a computer scientist to have a computer at one point. Now that same generation that could figure all this out on their own, has all they can do to figure out their iphone, which is infinitely easier than these old PCs

    I mean we also have some old PCs from the early 2000s, but the problem is that these don’t work anymore……however we still have an iPhone 3G which is still in daily use! It is connected to our old audio system in our kitchen and contains just tons of songs, and we use it pretty much every day to listen to music, (in other rooms we have newer systems with AirPlay, Spotify etc.) In order to import music on it we have an old MacBook from like 2010 or so which also just contains like 150 GB of music, nothing else lol

    You can still get dial up isp im sure you can connect manually(windows 95 itself does have dial-up options not through aol's easydial setup) and use a IE to browse with.
