pondus Posted February 5, 2010 ID:194538 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Brian T Klug has balls, I'll give him that. Why else would he have bought a Discovery Channel CD-ROM (Windows 98) incorrectly priced on Amazon to the tune of $2,904,980,000 just to see what would happen?http://gizmodo.com/5439761/curious-man-buy...l+%28Gizmodo%29 Link to post

mountaintree16 Posted February 8, 2010 ID:196487 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have a Norton SystemWorks 2000 CD I came across a couple days ago from our Windows 95 Link to post
Ibrad Posted February 8, 2010 ID:196555 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I got a Windows 95 upgrade disk and a Windows 95 uninstall floppy. Link to post
Ibrad Posted February 8, 2010 ID:196556 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I got a Windows 95 upgrade disk and a Windows 95 uninstall floppy. Sorry install floppy not uninstall. Link to post
DarkSnakeKobra Posted February 8, 2010 ID:196588 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Sorry install floppy not uninstall.I would love to see that. At one time during the 90's I had an old star wars game I got from bestbuy which came with like 8 floppy disks. I ended up exchanging it for a CD-ROM. Still that wasn't easy to install it had to run through DOS and was difficult to even run. We ended up having to go to the local computer store and have them install it for us.Edit: Just found theses Tutorials for office xp. Includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Access all unopened. Link to post
mountaintree16 Posted February 10, 2010 ID:197898 Share Posted February 10, 2010 What's Word XP, Buttons? I've never heard of it. Link to post
DarkSnakeKobra Posted February 10, 2010 ID:197974 Share Posted February 10, 2010 You know I'm not sure. I always thought it was the same as Word 2002 which is like 2003, but with almost no color. If not it could be just above 97. My grandparent's have that.Edit: Just searched office.microsoft.com and it is the same as 2002. We have office 2002, but no longer use it as I just bought 2007 back in late December. Here's some pictures. The top one is 2003 and the bottom one is 2002/xp. See how 2003 is more colorful and xp is pretty much in black and white? 2003 also looks a little more 3D style then xp with it's almost flat looking surface. Link to post
mountaintree16 Posted February 10, 2010 ID:197999 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ah, okay, thanks Buttons That makes sense!I think I have used 2002 before, not quite sure. I am most familiar with 2003 Link to post
DarkSnakeKobra Posted February 10, 2010 ID:198005 Share Posted February 10, 2010 No problem. I'm most familiar with 2003 to. Although I use OpenOffice on a spare computer I like office the most. Link to post
mountaintree16 Posted February 10, 2010 ID:198016 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I only have Wordpad on my computer. I was considering getting OpenOffice because I'd like to write sometimes but I don't need Word badly enough to spend the $300 or whatever on it, since I am not in school right now or anything. I'll have it bundled into the price of whatever new computer we get in the future though if that's possible. I like having Word, Excel, etc... very useful I do have a WordPerfect CD though that would probably work that came with the computer if I need a word processing program. Link to post
DarkSnakeKobra Posted February 10, 2010 ID:198025 Share Posted February 10, 2010 If you would like the link for openoffice here it is http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#tested-fullThe only problem with word perfect is that if you decide to replace it with a something else you can't get rid of that junky updater program called Macrovision or something. It doesn't have an uninstall tool or anything. Have it myself I got it with an old dell dimension 2400. Don't use it, but have it. Link to post

mountaintree16 Posted February 17, 2010 ID:201639 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The link is working fine for me.Anyway, it turns out that the merchant caught the sale and canceled it.soo whacky! Link to post
noknojon Posted February 20, 2010 ID:202981 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Norton SystemWorks 2000 CDI can supply the matches to burn that - Link to post
byte_king Posted March 9, 2010 ID:211784 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I've still got mine - Any offers ?? just curious, would it be possible to install windows 98 on a laptop bought yesterday?I know no one would ever want to do it for practical reasons, but I'm just wondering i it's even possible Link to post
sadeghi85 Posted March 9, 2010 ID:211818 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Of course it's possible, watch this: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/videos/bi...in98Install.wmv Link to post
mountaintree16 Posted March 9, 2010 ID:211988 Share Posted March 9, 2010 It's probably possible, but you'd want to do a clean install, and keep it off the internet Link to post
DGMurdockIII Posted March 15, 2010 ID:215018 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I think this storie is bogus Link to post
