>>69003987 I like the look of Windows 95. Windows 98's icons have always looked to me like they have a rash. I don't want to get too nostalgic about Windows 9x, though, because I remember what it was like to use. In particular, I remember what it was like to program on in a memory-unsafe language. I should have started dual-booting NT earlier. Today Windows 9x is just for games and multimedia, and that's its proper use.

I remember win98 had both the maze screensaver(I remember playing it?) and editing a square tile to create a groovy pattern for your desktop background. then the twisting colorful tubes or the baloons-geometric shapes one

>>69003987 I very much miss windows98, having mirc open on some warez server where I'd look for people advertising their ftp servers sharing their games and applications. Also the internet felt more... comfy. Cant quite put my finger on why that is. I hate the modern web more than anything. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to make it comfy again.

>>69004211 This but unironically, its just Windows 98 SE with a few improvements, nearly as fast, and I had a crappy P150 with 64MB of RAM.
