Yeah, for real, grab the still working ones while you can, there are fewer and fewer every day. I got lucky to get my hands on a Tandy 1000 that still works.
I had the equivalent of scheduled tasks (which also didn't really exist) to do defragments in Win95 and Win98 every Sunday evening. I also regularly printed out my IRQs, but people also forget that a lot of us were just reinstalling the OS every 1 or 2 years anyway from like 1995-2004. Windows XP was released in 2001, but it wasn't till like SP2 that it was really stable and supported enough as an OS to serve as a gaming computer.
Fun Fact: Buddy of mine messed up his HDD once after constantly kicking his PC (mostly when he was killed in a game). He fucked up some sector on his harddrive so he was forced to reinstall windows every day for like 30 minutes just to be able to play Icewind Dale.
I'm 22. I have countless memories of my dad sitting in front of the computer (I think it was Win XP) watching the defragmentation progress line slowly crawl up. His gf would mock him about it all the time "your dad's busy running defragmentation", referring to how he just stared at the screen doing nothing for at least half an hour.
