2 CD ROMs drives AND a zip drive? This guy fucks
Shit.DVD drives!
In 96? Fucking bleeding edge stuff
I think it says 98. IE4.0 wasn’t released until 97, same for Pentium MMX.
Heck I think you’re right.
Man, I bet they were so bummed that they’re stuck on Windows 95 then.
I was in a similar boat. Got our first family PC with windows 95 like 4 months before 98 released. Which kept me from being a PC gamer until i was later into my teens.
either way, how common were DVD drives in 98?
Not very common at all; you needed a separate MPEG2 card to decode the DVD as the CPU wasn’t fast/strong enough.
