And if you've never seen the clip where Windows 98 BSOD's during it's first ever public demo...

In 1998, Microsoft demoed Windows 98 live on stage. They plugged in a scanner to show off USB support. The computer immediately blue-screened in front of Bill Gates. He just smiled and said: “That must be why we’re not shipping Windows 98 yet.”

I always wonder how hi-impact would have looked if it had existed in the 80s, and we were dealing with BBC Bs, Econet networks, and 20MB Winchester drives that held everything!

Are any of my schools, or any hi-impact schools interested in this? - With the ISS (apparently) being taken out of service in 2030, we're running out of opportunities! #Wirralschools #STEM #hamradio #hiimpactschools

Memory management in MS-DOS was a nightmare, squeezing every last kilobyte out of that 640k to get games running took patience!..and then there was extended and expanded memory! At least for Win95 onwards - your RAM was treated as one block!
