Sure, it was fun at the time - when you couldn't conceive of what using a computer would be like 28 years later. However, I think if you were dropped in the '90s and had to use a computer like this full time, you'd mess around, play a few dos games, go online and find it all quaint and charming for a while. Then the novelty eventually wears off as it becomes clear there's no streaming, no video at all really. Just crudely animated rotating skull gifs and jpgs that load one row of pixels at a time over the course of a couple minutes. There were some simple games that ran on "Shockwave" (a sort of proto-flash player). Then there's the frequent crashes, very limited hdd space, having to keep track of all your physical media - for instance, installing Microsoft Office off of - and I'm dead serious - _forty-five_ floppy disks. If the stars are aligned, it goes smoothly and only takes a few hours, but more likely you'll get frequent disk-read errors and have to keep re-trying until it works. And if even one of them just won't read at all no matter what you do, you're screwed. Anyway, I could go on for several more paragraphs about the extreme limitations of using '90s-era computers, and the countless inconveniences you've never had to deal with. Though, on top of all that, you have no mobile phone (theoretically you could have one of those giant bricks with a 20-minute battery life, but those are rare and expensive, so you almost certainly don't). Also, the internet uses your landline, so when you're online, _nobody_ can call you, nor can you call anyone, and sometimes when someone tries to call while you're online, you lose your internet connection. Step outside and you're on your own: no gps, no way to look anything up, no way to call people except for pay-phones and the phone numbers you've either memorized or carry around with you. (If you're lucky, there's a giant phonebook that _might_ have the number you need.) If you want to hang out with friends somewhere, you have to agree on a precise place and time, and if someone is late or slightly misunderstands the exact 20 foot radius they were supposed to go to, that's it, they're screwed, because with everyone out and about there's no way to contact each other. Yeah, anyway, the point is there are so, _soooooo_ many things you take for granted which you don't even realize or think about because for you they've been there since birth, but you'd become _very_ aware of if they suddenly weren't there.
After not seeing Windows operating systems from the 1990's for years, I think it is awesome to see someone upload a video about it. They definitely bring back nostalgic memories for me, and I wish they weren't as forgotten about. I happen to enjoy vintage technology like this.
Youve Got Mail!!!! I remember being jealous of my friends when they said they had DSL at their house. It was WAY faster and you could make phonecalls while you were online!
Fun fact my grandpa used to have similar computers from that era to windows xp. He even played some Microsoft solitaire on those computers. I even helped him win that and sudoku.
I'm 60. In 2009 or 10 I went to the home of a friend's parents to help take care of them. In an upstairs bedroom I discovered a Gateway PC, running Windows 98, and still turned on (no internet connection though). It was a complete PC outfit. It had the Gateway tower unit, the Gateway monitor, Gateway keyboard, and a Gateway mouse. There was also the quick start guide, whatever that would be called, plus the original manual and original receipt. Also a Gateway Country foam rubber promo cow. There was also a printer, which I think was an HP. The documents folder was empty except for 2 documents created in the year 2000. The whole thing was a time capsule. I should have rescued it when I had the chance. I'm sure that the man who later cleaned out their house, threw it all away. I have no doubt.
i’m obsessed with retro tech so sometimes i use this old mini modem to connect with dial up because i can and windows is amazing for stuff like that. (and also to test my patience i deleted and installed chrome while on dialup. wasn’t fast.)
You are simply awesome men!!! kudos for your workings... You woke up my old memories back. seriously back to school. very clean and nice look of daddy computers !!!!
I wish I could have a computer as old as this one and do dial-up. Closest PC I have, age-wise, is an old e-machines with a Celeron CPU and 128MB of RAM. One of these days I'll get dial-up for fun.
This brings back so many memories of when I worked on a PC help desk back in the 90s. Proper technology when you needed to work hard to get things to work 😅
Thank you so much for the late-night nostalgia watching this 🤗 I was born at the end of the 90s but growing up my parents & grands-parents + my school had the same computers. I remember using diskettes and waiting several minutes for a Wikipedia page to charge. I'm in awe that this computer turned on and actually worked !
Yes! I was growing up in the 2010's (yes im young so don't judge pls) and my family had this old computer that they hardly ever used, but i was using it to watch RUclips. Since i didn't have a phone. But i remember it was so slow and the connection errors were so often! But that didn't stop me. It would take 5 minutes just for the RUclips page to load. But since i was little, it didn't bother me. Good memories 😊
You could create your own dial-up ISP by using a two port ATA device (like one of the Cisco SPA devices) and configure one port to connect to the other and use a computer as a dial-in server on one line to receive calls on. The first two generations of Apple's UFO shaped Airport Extreme routers have a modem on them that can be used as a dial-in server (just setup the PPP dial-in settings). Windows computers can also be used by adding incoming connections to the network connections control panel.
Could you do a video showing how to do that? I miss the dial up sounds. Yes it's wildly slow but it would be fun to show people what it used to be like
This is awesome. I just got out my old family computer (2006) about a week or two ago. I was at my dad's probably about 4 years ago now and found it in his garage. He said I could have it. It was still basically new besides years of smoke and then dust. I cleaned it up like I didn't the last time I pulled it out (which was for an hour)this time I opened it up, upgraded the ram from 512mb to 4gb and installed an old Radeon 7750, re-pasted the cpu (found the old thermal paste to be intact after removing the heatsink.. oops) but it is as it has been since my dad set it up. Same account, same name. Same apps installed. Makes me happily sad. Nostalgia is a bastard.
Holy sh*t Windows 95. My 1st exposure to Windows after having a PC built in 96 or 97. Can't believe there are people who are still using it. The dial up modem tone certainly launched many memories, like having a telephone bill skyrocketed to around $100 (exactly not common if you used phone for... phone call at that time). And of course downloading 10-20 MB Nintendo 64 ROM may took about 30 minutes. Nowadays you can easily download 1 or 2 GB files less than 5 minutes. Ahh... good old times :)
This video was so amazing that I had to take notes. Each chunk is an independent thought - not connected. Wow, what a beautiful setup! I'm not even a computer guy, but lucky for me my grandfather was! This is just such a beautiful example of something that, to me, represents him and a hobby he always took pride in, and to hear that it came from your grandparents makes this that much more meaningful. Wow, I've never seen someone take the time to sync the refresh rate to the frame rate. Legend! NO F'ING WAY... IS HE REALLY GONNA USE AND AOL FREE TRIAL FROM 1997 IN 2022?!?! JUST WHO DOES TF HE THINK HE IS?!?! SIR YOU HAVE MY SWORD! WHOA you got that fresh 5.0! ...I remember every single icon on the ribbon. I could navigate through this just as fast as any other interface that I currently use on a daily basis, so deeply is it etched into my psyche. Dang that sounds like a nice modem. Too bad that it didn't work! It WOULD be sick to check that email... could you imagine?? The fact that you got it all the way to dialing up makes this, still, such an incredibly invaluable treasure. Just WOW! As you can tell, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this!
You know what ive found crazy is that, you needed to practically be a computer scientist to have a computer at one point. Now that same generation that could figure all this out on their own, has all they can do to figure out their iphone, which is infinitely easier than these old PCs
That track ball mouse that you have is amazing, I have the same one (the usb version) and I still use it to this day, I’m glad I finally found someone else that has it
What makes me laugh about the turbo button is not many people realise it wasn't to speed up the PC it was too actually slow it down which I never understand why they called it turbo
because turbo sounds cool I guess, that's also why they use the term in some non realistic racing games even though it's acting as a nitro... since you can't manually activate a turbo in a engine
Wow, a pc from the ancient of days. Those were such good times man. I remember my sign in name with AOL messenger and as a child how predatory those chat rooms were. The 30 days free trial floppy disc's. The fighting over who's turn it was with my older sister just to only play solitare or free cell as they were the only games available on our computer. The good old days of struggle!
We had one of these at my job for the heating system and they threw it away a few months ago!!! I used to go in that room just to look at the screen like fck, memories.
Welp, I'm very glad I experience those type of old Windows PCs and so happy they are keeping these computers alive. I used to have those PCs, but not anymore because its outdated. Those old machines maybe outdated, but that doesn't mean it can fade from existences or history.
Nice video, it's very entertaining, but for the love of vintage computers please be careful, because if you hot-plug a serial port device, you risk frying the serial port. Same goes for ps/2 ports.
I still have 4 or 5 AOL free trial discs from when I was a kid well after AOL was getting phased out. I was one of the first kids in my school to get broadband and wifi so being able to have that as a kid saved me from the probable horror that dial up was. I used dial up when i was like 3 and that was really it
I have an old proline laptop from like around 1999 that still works to this day. It has a Pentium 2 processor with 64mb ram, a 4gb hdd running windows 98se. The only thing that needs to be replaced is the actual casing, the plastic has started to become brittle. But I mainly use it for dos and old crpg games. It's actually damn amazing the hdd is still alive, despite sounding like a nuclear reactor and being used for long periods of time.
As the dial up towers activate for the first time in decades, the server workers wake up and say…
“Holy sh*t.”

We had so much patience in the 90s and early 2000s. Not now we want everything instantly
Because we’ve gotten used to getting everything instantly, back then we were just amazed using it so waiting didn’t matter much.
Reason why the 90s was GOAT. People were ACTUAL PEOPLE back then.
Brought back memories of fiddling on the family computer in our old bonus room in the mid- to late '90s.

I wished i kept my first computer. Which was a compac presario. But I keep all my computers now. That was the same compac keyboard I had to.
It's great nostalgia but overtime we just had to get rid of it. It just got very slow and shitty to use. So we had to update. Part of life...
