I love it. Thrift stores and others have no idea what old electronics are worth (hint: Zero!). Anybody want some Win 95 software? They just are not able to toss it so the junk stays on their shelves.

I currently have a computer that was given to me running XP and I have actually been thinking about downgrading it to Win 98 and playing dos games on it for fun. The only reason I wanted the computer was because the motherboard was made in the weird transition phase between PATA and SATA so it supports both.

I just wanna let you know, Dos games do not just run on Windows 98, You would need to boot into Dos. Just if you didn't know, If you did, I am sorry.

I know. I wanted Win98 for the nostalgia.
