wow... windows 98?!

[zimu]

good ol' memories. i've so been spoilt by 2000 and XP that to see win98 installed on my dad's machine is so weird!!

does anybody know if there is a way to show the connection icon thingy when you're connected to the LAN in the taskbar? in xp etc its so easy- but i see no option to enable it in 98!

/me boots 98 on VMWare....

I'll be damned if I can find it! Hmm, I'm not sure, AFAIK it's available under 2000/XP only.

why do you need the little icon anyway? it's just a waste of space. there are a billion easier ways to discover if you are connected to a network or not

This was only available for NICs on 2k and up. It is not available in 9x. It is available for dial-up connections though.

Yeah, I think I used zonealarm to show network activity back in those days.

there is no way todo that ~ wish there was so i could turn off my LAN (nic card) with a double click

I still like 98.

I do have XP on two computers but not sure it was the best move.

 

[Rhonda85]

Gosh, I still run win98! It runs fine on older slower machines, like my old AMD duron 800

 

[Keitero]

Phear the power of a 386 laptop and WINDOWS for 386!

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

My mom used to run Windows 3.11 on her 486... And DOS on her 286. Man, that was fun.

 

[naruto1988]

i would die if i ever tried to go back to older OS's. spoiled by XP.
