For all users and afficionados of this wonderful OS, which was on is time the best in the world, I will suggest and find the last version still operating and compatible with many sofftwares still programing for this version: Windows 98 SE (Second Edition)
If you have the chance to find it from olds originals CDroms computers !!!! it exists" Essential is to participate " P.Coubertin
JHC here we go again, W98SE is obsolete, does not have driver support for latest chipset, older PC install DSL !

... and is there really a need to promote awareness of Windows 98... in its own forum?
Yes, we've heard of it - some even use it(!)

No wonder you guys have a lot of fun hanging out in this forum, you can't seem to keep 'em out. Maybe if you had less doors - you won't need as many doorknobs.

"which was on is time the best in the world"
Nope, DOS was (in it's time) the best (most reliable) in the world.
Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

Windows 95 C is still my favorite. The latest patches make it almost identical to 98SE but without USB and IE 6. Much faster than 98SE, however.
Chances are good that if you're still running 95 then you're still running 1997-vintage devices without USB plugs; you could care less about USB support.

Sure - one pointless, waste-of-time 'vanity' post serves as a beacon for others
Soon we'll be comparing lists and reminiscing (oh, goody)

Yeah, and Babbage's Calculating Engine never really worked properly so Lady Lovelace kinda wasted her time.

I put together a Radio Shack crystal radio kit when I was a kid & used to listen to 'hi-quality' AM broadacsts thru my headphones. The antenna was a fine wire strung between the garage & barn. Those were the days! ;-)

Jboy was so right about the "beacon" LOL.

Not so many years ago, for a grandson, I wound some wire around a kitchen roll center, joined up a variable capacitor and crystal diode then managed 3 AM stations on a long aerial (antenna) wire. Ancient high impedance headphones helped as modern low impedance ones damped the tuning.What else? Pay packet from a valve main frame machine, computers that plugged into the b&W TV aerial socket programmed via cassette tape, and so forth.....
Curse this nostalgia!

After having my TRS-80, 16K, for awhile, I decided to make my own printer using a Smith Corona electric typerwriter.
I fashioned banks of solenoids underneath the typewriter, one for each key. Each key was activated, with its own wire, pulled by one of the solenoids.
I designed an array of microchips to drive the solenoids using the ASCII code for the characters. Yes, I made my own drivers -- Yowsa!
It made a lot of noise -- but it worked. What a joy it was to see that little-ole TRS-80 cranking-out my type-written letters.
So, forgive me all you experts when I ask questions, sometimes, about my beloved Windows 98SE system that may seem trivial to you. Some things I know -- some things I don't.

Even before that was drawing in the dirt with a stick. Then Bill Gates bought all the sticks.

I can still remember when you used to shovel coal in your computer every morning and wind up the mainspring at night for backup.....

I have a Windows 95 CD with USB support. Hey i wonder if these CD'S will be worth money some day? My 98 CD got broke i was so mad. My friend had one on his desk he got at school they gave it to him. I saw it i said hey man i will give you $10.00 for that. He said ok. So i have a replacement the 98SE CD had no keycode but my old one worked. Also the one he had was the PLUS! version.
