Should I fake a toothache so I don't have to go to school tomorrow? I mean, my hunch tells me something isn't right

You were pretty lucky to have that in 1999.
I got to use my dad's (formerly powerful) drafting / CAD box.
Pentium (first generation)
1gb hdd
4mb Matrox millennium graphics card
Soundblaster 16bit
17" crt viewsonic 1280x1024
CD-RW drive + floppy drive
don't remember what nic
don't remember how much memory, though I think it was 32MB
Windows 95
Also used until 2003.
>>54427424
>17" crt viewsonic 1280x1024
Nice, motherfuckers like me still run a lower res than this, sadly.
>>54426176
I was offline until 2008, when the Windows ME shitbox we were using finally died in a thunder strike.
Even after that the desktop I got didn't have wi-fi so to get online I had to use my mom's laptop.
And that's how I grew up an internet addict.
(reminder that people born in 97 can now post on 4chan)
>>54424589
>tfw my family has dual phone lines so I can go on all day

And man, I'm still on a Win95 box from 1994, came with 3.1 and DOS 6 originally.
Top of the line then, but pretty garbage now. Gonna get a new machine in a bit once ME comes out.
>>54427239
>Applel used to be for people who wanted to get shit done and still made workstations that where'nt laughable memes until those horrible all in one crt's
Apple was dying for the entirety of the mid 90s until the iMac, and all-in-one machines have been a staple of the lineup since... well, the 1984 Macintosh.
like, the Mac II-era tried to bolster Apple's appearance as a workstation manufacturer (a decently loaded Mac II that was full of RAM, had the big color monitor, and had the graphics board to drive it at 256 colors was in the price range of an SGI machine or a NeXT box at launch, but generally not quite as nice -- the SGI machines had accelerated video, and the NeXT machines had a nicer OS than System 4-6 by a country mile, and then more recent SGI machines throw a fully loaded Mac under the bus for the same price, and even a normal IBM-compatible PC is starting to really leave them in the dust)
and it's not like Windows 98 is any less stable than OS 8, an OS that pretty much locks up completely whenever you're running a single intensive task and might as well be single-tasking
kind of wish Copland didn't fail, that shit was embarrassing
Apple's performance to cost has never been that good, ever.
just adequate and nice looking
Who else is so fucking stoked for Diablo II? It's going gold just next month.

I used a Matrox Millenium 4mb right up until last year in the server/media machine i kept in the attic. Latest round of upgrades to the other machines relegated it to the spare parts box though.
in the next 10 years we will see technology advance so fast all the normies will be on the internet

>>54429005
They stopped installing new ISDN lines in my country this year. My family went straight from 56k to DSL over POTS so I've never experienced it.
>>54429045
Verizon discontinued the ADSL in my area of California, now I have '50 mbps' time warner but it's laggy and garbage for my online gaymen, was totally happy with the 6.5mbps down and 768k up, at least it didnt buffer and YT, had that connection for years too.

I had an ISDN-BRI in America from 2003 - 2009 when a WISP finally provided broadband. It took me 3 weeks to get the ISDN uninstalled. No local installers/customer reps knew what I was talking about and couldn't put the order in to the computer to uninstall even though they could see the service. Finally a 3rd level tier engineer from Chicago called me and laughed and couldn't believe I had the install order go through. He's never seen an ISDN-bri installed in a residential before.

>>54429250
No, 2Mb/s (~2,000Kb/s). Search AltaVista for DOCSIS. Has a theoretical downstream maximum of 40Mb/s. Shit's crazy.
>>54429300
2MB/s is 2000KB/s, Mb =! MB nor Kb =!KB
>>54429181

Mate that is 2008 tier technology. It's all about FTTH now in Europe where the sky's the limit. If you're unlucky enough to not have access yet you usually have at least VDSL available.

>and it's not like Windows 98 is any less stable than OS 8
With buggy software OS 8 would go down faster then a whore who just got paid. But nothing ever worked with Win98. If it didn't come out of the box with the machine, then you had to jump through hoops just to get a fucking keyboard to work properly and not bring down the system or stop it from booting.
So I would say it was a wash. Both were unstable crap in their own ways.

I was always my dad's son when mom was pissed of at me. As she put it for acting like my dad, or his family. Every other time I was her son.
