I was an IT Tech in my 40s in those days.

I've stared at those installs way to many times before. 😬

I'm not sure I've ever got my hands on Win98, I know for sure I tried Win2000 when I was "a wee lad" 🤔

I used to really enjoy installing Windows back then. Now I absolutely hate it with Win11.

It would be great to see the “insert next disk” screen as well. Something these youngsters would never understand. Getting to the last disk and having a CRC error and the buzz buzz buzz noise from your floppy drive. 😆

I'm born 2002 and i think I still understand it very well even tho I haven't ever really experienced it. I find it very interesting tho.

I also often think about how programming was back then. I mean the www was in its early stage so no way to google things or to download libraries...

There was a hell of a lot more of trial and error back then. 😅

Then, after, Windows XP reach the pinnacle of perfection, more or less, only to see the windows line progressively degrade since then. It’s almost seems like a commentary on modern times.
