People often tell you to "pick your battles". Matt is the kind of person to pick battles nobody else would even think of.

When I was a kid my uncle used to leave me all of his old PC parts, I pieced together a super slow pentium 2 short tower and slapped a trusty install of Millenium Edition on there and was so damn proud of myself

The Michealsoft Binbows joke at 0:28 hits different after the Nick Robinson video.

What a completely pointless waste of time... I loved it.

"The CD driver didn't detect the CD drive, which I honestly somewhat expected."
That is a sentence. That is definitely a sentence.

Retail versions of Windows ME were "expansion" or "upgrade" disks for Windows 98. The version you have (the non-bootable kind) were meant to upgrade from windows 95/98 to Windows ME. They had the full install on them, but were not meant to be used as a clean install CD.

I love these videos so much. I appreciate how you don’t just show the results, but you also show the entire process.

I love the druaga1 reference and I'm just gonna say if you have seen a 2007 imac in person you can easily tell it apart!

At 5:47 I somehow read "BALLACHE" instead of "LBACACHE" and that describes this whole procedure pretty accurately.

[MeriaDuck]

This is what adding insult to injury looks like.
Love it.
And the ridiculous amount of effort to get it done, condensed in 18 minutes... you have some perseverance!

him popping into frame at 3:40 scared the crap out of me, i thought there was someone behind me lmaooo

Microsoft: This is fine
Apple: Unable to open software, please upgrade to macOS Big Sur

[InnoVintage]

And Steve isn' angry, he's laughing his ass off, and more likely to be angry at apple's engineers than you.

[aeleequis]

Hell yeah, I was waiting for a new video.
Thank you 🙏

Can't wait for another year of MattKC! Your videos always bring me a smile!

[DoctorDalek]

You could probably take the PCI-E slot that holds the AirPort card and adapt it to a full slot to plug in a USB controller that actually has drivers for 9x. It's also possible that if your model has a discrete GPU, it _might_ be replaceable with a different card that supports 9x. I'm not sure what socket it's using, but looking at ifixit's teardown, they mention it might be standard.

I keep nodding my head at MattKc videos. Brings back the memories of old os models and gives me the sheer joy of seeing why anyone would do this.

You’re a true genius! I love your work ❤️
