I just think that Microsoft needs to stop trying to reinvent the wheel all the time and stick to what really works and has been working wonders for decades. I agree. I feel with every version of Windows I've been able to shape and mold it to my preference over time, and I'm sure 11 will be no …

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-lets-you-enable-the-classic-windows-10-start-menu-heres-how/ Don't need to thank me for that. I think it's great the Windows 10 start menu is called "Classic" in the registry key, "Start_ShowClassicMode". 😂 It's too bad it's not just a …

I also managed to get a NIB Evergreen MXPro 200. Hopefully that’ll find its home in my Socket 5 VLB build. Fingers crossed it’s a later revision with a WinChip2 or even a WinChip2A! It’s a late box, with Windows 98 benchmarks on the back, instead of the earlier release with data from Win95. Holy …

In idle the temps reach 39/41°C but in seconds it goes up and down really so fast I can't say how this thing work. Would your OS let you run something like HWiNFO?

I'm not sure I have a favorite time, but I definitely have some discrete game playing periods. Pre-school: I played a lot of DOS games with my dad and even learned my way around COMMAND.COM. Mostly Duke Nukem I and II, Kings Quest VI, and some learning games like Millie's Math House and Operation …

This is really cool, I love all the photos. How are you going to arrange the SCSI disks? Two separate disks or in a RAID?

I'm looking forward to my first proper Windows Me build. I like that it's the last 9x release but contains some later NT features and interface updates. And with some effort it seems like you can change/revert some of the more annoying features like no easy DOS access. I was given one of those …
