1108738 2010-06-11 08:10:00 windows 98 sucks, not 95Would you care to qualify that comment?

Also, which version of Windows 95 are you referring to? There were three, one of which was 16-bit only...


the operating system i used when i learnt how to use a computer many years ago.Many, *many* years ago - it's ancient. Quite apart from anything else, no modern browser of note will run on it, and it's completely unsuited for use as a streaming music host.

1108739 2010-06-11 08:13:00 i mean windows 95 with usb support. it did me well for years and is quick and easy goodiesguy (15316)
1108740 2010-06-11 08:38:00 Windows 95 with usb support .

That's an Oxymoron if ever I heard one


. . . . and is quick and easy

I would say Windows 95 (by modern standards), is absolutely, positively neither of those things .

I guess you could sit there playing Solitaire on it all day, but it's not much use for anything else .

1108741 2010-06-11 08:40:00 its good for DOS games goodiesguy (15316)
1108742 2010-06-11 09:05:00 ....all these things you have used for years and years and give advice on - gfx cards, OS's etc, and you're now at the ripe old age of what? ....oh yea, 14!

and to play dos games, most people actually use Dos-box rather than installing win95 I would think

1108743 2010-06-11 09:29:00 Yeah Win 95 in not an option. I dont even know if it would support all the hardware in the desktop. Its to old and Microsoft dont make any security updates for it.
LOL

1108744 2010-06-11 09:50:00 its good for DOS games

DOS is good for DOS games.. In fact much quicker and easier if that's all you're doing.

In fact I have a 486 running MS-DOS 6.22 specifically for them :D
