Happy to sponsor! Nostalgia + tech... what's not to love?

I'm over 60 and spent over 35 years as a software developer using ASM, C and C++. Not once did I require Google, we had access to better (Usenet for example) in the late 70s and 80s. No censors, trolls, and morons. It was great! Sadly you will never experience anything like it.

For nostalgia purposes I have installed Windows 98 and Windows XP in a virtual environment. I love watching how fast the OS installs on modern day tech.

Throughout this whole video, Kalle trying to get the piece of chocolate out and GETTING it out was my favourite part!

Just imagining how the person in the next bathroom stall felt as they heard you record a YouTube vlog

12:58 "it also doesn't really tell me what the problem was"

Ah yes, the classic Windows experience.

I was born in 1988 and still had one of these until around 2010. It's fair to say, that even Microsoft Office lagged all the time, but still it was considered cooler than writing documents by hand.

A fascinating trip down memory lane for this old dude. I got into computers in the early nineties, when Windows 3.11 was predominant. It crashed regularly, and the promise of the next major Windows OS release -- Windows 95 -- was to correct that crashing, in addition to providing a new UI experience. Win 95 delivered as promised (mostly), and I remember having all sorts of consulting work going around to companies and upgrading their PCs to Win 95. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

Classic... First OS I have ever worked is windows 98... .I still remember playing my first PC games in Windows 98 .. Road Rash, Wolf 3D, Prince of Persia ... Nostalgia!!!!

[Addeatt]

What a blast from the past! I've kept most of all my old PC's as I upgraded them, but I sure do wish I still had 1 of these sitting around.

[aguynamedandre]

Hahah bro, I’m somewhat of a millennial too and I was hit with a lot of nostalgia! But watching you trying to wait patiently had me rolling!! I feel your pain brother 😂

Awesome.
This went exactly how I expected it. I have a win98 virtual machine with visual studio. Everything works and it's crazy fast. It also took a lot of setup time to get the original 98se install running in virtualbox. It was a work thing at the time to edit some old code.

Now I need to dig up Age of Empires and the original Warcraft.

[Mr.Coffee]

I still dont understand why Microsoft cant bring back the Windows 98 startup sound.

[CodingWithLewis]

I have been trying to find an old school computer for SO long but they are now considered "vintage" 😭

[greatman_CCJR]

Seeing a programmer work with a computer versus an information technology consultant work with a computer was mind-blowing.

Now this brings me back.

My parents bought our first PC back in 1995. It came with MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11. 2 months after we got it Windows 95 released and we've spent the equivalent of about 100 Euro to upgrade the PC from 4 to 8 mb of RAM. Half a year after that we upgraded the 486 with a CD-ROM drive, sound card and speakers. So we finally had some sound coming out of it. Fun times.

Btw. Solitaire and Minesweeper were always part of Windows since at least Windows 3.11. So they should be on the Windows 98 CD if they were not installed on it.

Man, this was a fun little trip. It does bring a bit of a chuckle when I see someone much younger navigating technology that was ubiquitous and seen as "cutting edge" for its time, but that "time" was almost a quarter-century ago, lol. It's like watching someone try to work a Walkman who's never seen one before. The wild thing about it, really, is how it does not FEEL to me like it was that long ago, but it must feel like an eternity ago to the person who's trying to use this stuff. It must have felt like longer in the past when us elder millennials visited this phenomenon upon our poor parents (or "the 'rents"/"parentals" as we used to say) when we had to learn to use things they were used to from their childhood/early adulthood, but technology jumps so fast these days that stuff used everywhere just 10 years ago now feels ancient to us in 2022. I have a Windows XP machine w/emulator that I use for old video game purposes, but man, I remember playing shit like Mechwarrior 2 or WarCraft II (something about the "twos" lol) on Win98/DOS.

If anything, let this serve as a lesson to some that we spent the most significant parts of our lives not realizing they were significant.

You took me back to memory lane. I began using computers at work after graduating high school in 1990 with an IBM AT running DOS 3.1, Lotus 1-2-3 2.4. Not long after that I changed jobs and started using a Compaq 386 with DOS 5 and Windows 3.1. I cleaned a lot of Windows; but in 1994 I started using Linux. I remember when Windows 95 came out. I stopped using MS operating systems and products after Windows XP. It was a great OS which brought an easy to use operating system and applications to the masses.

I knew this video was going to take me down memory lane but I didn't realize it would also make me miss Sweden. I was just there this summer visiting family. Double nostalgia.

[ZainKhan-rrcv]

Great video Kalle.
How awesome it would be to have a PC like this upgraded to modern specs while having the same casing and peripherals. A bit of both worlds <3
