Re: so I had the urge to get out an old Linux computer

in Milliways
If anyone is interested, I tried to upgrade to netscape 6, but couldn't find the download Then I started looking at firefox....the latest version I could run was like 0.70. Couldn't get that to run. Maybe this is telling me something - that his really old stuff may not be worth fooling around with …

looking at motherboards

in Milliways
I was looking at motherboards and now I am depressed :( I am realizing how much things have changed. The last system I built was an athlon XP and I was behind the time when I built that - all that stuff I got used so it was old back then. I used that as long as I could, and then gave up on building …

Re: end of DVD storage

in Milliways
Well I left a very negative review on the website. They had the 8x ones pictures, but sent the 16X. Not the same thing at all. I had found a website that claimed to have some some 8X JVC/TY ones. I find that VERY hard to believe. I sent them an email inquiry but never got a reply

Re: Man builds his own 80s VHS store in the cellar

in Milliways
I have looked at this thread a couple of times. My first thought was "pretty cool." But then I started thinking about it. Setting yourself up to be dependent upon old technology - VHS players haven't been made in a long time; any ones you might get are going to be used. On the other hand, I may have …

Re: a little retrospective

in Milliways
I wonder what the next step is? All computers must be regularly connected to the internet at least once a week to continue working. Once support ends, it stops activating and you have one week to get all your files off and throw it in the trash.

Re: a little retrospective

I think microsoft was pretty crappy when they ended XP activation. There are a lot of people out there with legitimate reasons for wanting to run an older OS - like newer versions of a program might not be available

Re: end of DVD storage

in Milliways
I suppose that in a lot of ways there is not perfect storage solutions. Looking back, I shudder at all the time that I spent burning DVD disks. scanning each disk, keeping a copy of each scan like a catalog - too much time, WAY to OCD I think the reason is I refused to upgrade to XP for so long ( …

Re: nt 4.0 server

in Milliways
I had a copy of nt 4.0 workstation (not server) a long time ago. I installed it and played around with it but never really used it. I actually got that for *free* it came with some software I bought - I think it was visual c++

win98 file sharing

in Milliways
It is been a long time since I messed with this (25 years) I am interesting in setting up win98 file sharing. NOT getting on the internet....just file sharing. Network card installed, bound to netbeui protocol, file sharing turned on, file folder shared But when I click on network neighborhood says …

inwin cases

in Milliways
Does anyone have any thoughts on inwin cases, like the c589? I am looking to re-build an older system, so that narrows in down a little (more like a lot.)

nt 4.0 server

in Milliways
I was looking around on ebay, and saw a few listings of nt 4.0 server. Just curious, is there anything to be learned from setting that up on an old machine?

Re: silly question about power supplies

in Milliways
So it must be the one with the fan at the top suck air rather than blow air? There was a case I was looking at that had the power supply at the bottom. Closer look, and there is an opening with a filter there. The filter wouldn't be necessary unless it was pulling air from outside.

Re: so I had the urge to get out an old Linux computer

in Milliways
Well if anyone is interested I set up an old win98 pc with a network card. The thing fought me tooth-and-nail; I wound up reinstalling windows And boy what I pain to get the video card going again (apollo pro chipset) Been a while since I saw win98 with the "network neighborhood" icon Next step - …

silly question about power supplies

in Milliways
This shows how behind-the-times I am I was looking at computer power supplies, and they call have the fans in the top I was thinking this would take a special case with a hole in the top to draw in air from the outside but that's not correct is it Will draw air from inside same as any other power …
