Sometimes when you test software on a virtual machine, you don't touch it for a while and forget what you installed. What the fuck am I looking at?

Specifically the ibmpc section, currently not interested in acorn stuff, I'm looking for a Windows 95 program.

Do any of you know where a backup of demon.co.uk's FTP server may be?

I have 3 computers capable of burning CDs:
1. A Broken Pentium III Dell that goes through power supplies like water filters.
2. A Powermac G4 that currently cant recognize it's hard drive
3. A Thinkpad T430 that despite everything I put it through, it always turns on and does it's thing as long as it has an SSD.

Guess which one I almost always have to rely on to burn a CD?

I really hope someday we can have a #microsoftober where we celebrate Microsoft's operating system from hell: Classic Windows.
Not only do we do cool stuff with our windows installs, but we make Halloween "Windows Plus!" Themes and change our bluescreens into Halloween colors. #retrocomputing

Hey #retrocomputing did anyone ever make a converter for the proprietary PSU slots on those old 90s dell motherboards?

My only Windows 98 computer just died on me... for the second time. I really wish those old dells didn't use proprietary PSUs, then I could easily put in a new one.

I just had a "fun" realization that despite collecting old computers, I hate all the companies who made them.

I guess what I'm into is what they brought to society. I'm interested in all the contributions people made to the world of computers. The fun we had on them. The usefulness they still potentially have. The long nights programmers spent writing code for to make a program that people used for a little while, then sadly discarded.

That is why I hunt for old programs.

Are there any online mail services that still support windows 98 era mail clients? #retrocomputing

Id love to get back into irc, but most channels appear to be ghost towns.
