SimpleSi Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 BBC News I'd like to request a 2 min non-posting window at midday today in honour of the passing of a old friend. No flames. regards Simon (And it's on my birthday as well ) PS For those who wish to laugh on such an occasion - one day it'll happen to you and XP as well.
webman Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 PS For those who wish to laugh on such an occasion - one day it'll happen to you and XP as well. Not if we're all using Linux And many happy returns to your good self, Simon
Dos_Box Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Hopefully M$ will bury it on midnight at a crossroads!
Face-Man Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 it's done pritty well considering how many CRASHes it been involved in :twisted:
OverWorked Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 It's not just 98, ME has gone too. Someone brought their machine running ME to me this week, asking me to add memory. Last night I googled for "windows ME" to find the recommended RAM and saw the article. Can't say I wept at it's passing. I disliked ME more than 98.
indiegirl Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Hmm. That might explain why my future employers are currently rushing their upgrades to Server 2k3 and XP desktops.... ;-)
wesleyw Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 @indiegirl: Will you still be making visits to Edugeek or have you decided to cut yourself off from all educational establishments? Wes
indiegirl Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Oh, I'll still be hanging around. I'm sure that Government institutions are as susceptible to infantile behaviour on the networks as schools are... and of course, where M$ is required, all support resources are gratefully received
NetworkGeezer Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Oh, I'll still be hanging around. I'm sure that Government institutions are as susceptible to infantile behaviour on the networks as schools are... Just so long as don't do anything like the people at the Farmers' Payments Agency-Thingy
witch Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I like Windows 98 - it does what I tell it to do - so there-- Mind you, I don't need support on it anyway as I probably know more than they do anyway.
bossman Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Goodbye my friend it's time to die, when all the birds are singing in the sky, reminds me of a naff song by terry jacks! Well i say good riddance to bad medicine!!
