This afternoon I was looking on my MS Discussion forums and came across the following post by mondine:

I guess one of these days, I’m going to have to upgrade from Win98.
I’ll probably get XP, about the time they’re ready to replace Vista.

And well just before reading that post I had just been sorting out some of my old PC stuff that I had in my cupboard so I thought wow what a great oprtunity to post a post with photo of some of this stuff I had just got out, here’s how it went:

Wooooow Man I’m so jealous you have Windows 98, I’ve only just upgraded to Windows 95 from Windows 3.1 so I can play some of my new games, and use Encarta 1994, look I even have some B drive disks from the Orbits solar system software, I had to get rid of my B drive though, I was really sad to see it go you know.

But hey I just had to play Cruise of a corpse and to play that I needed Windows 95 and a CD-Rom Drive so well I had to upgrade some hardware as well.

Now what’s this, I’ve been living under a rock I hear you say, are you sure? Anyway look at my lovely pic taken about 5 minutes ago!

I have more stuff but I would need to sort it out, the other stuff was quite old so I put it into storage!

Ohh by the way click here for a larger image of the pic above!

Anyway hope you’ve stopped laughing now, here’s a list of some of the stuff I have in my cupboard:

• Windows 3.1
• Windows 95
• Windows 98
• Orbits Solar System
• Microsoft Encarta 1994
• Microsoft Ancient Lands
• Cruise for a corpse
• Titanic challenge of discovery
• A bunch of old computer books
