As Slaaaaap! Hihihihi & DavidR you don't HAVE to know about these facts I suppose you've overlooked them. It's great to clear this up , as some people forget that it's not what computer power you have...
...
That has nothing to do with power of your computer... now you are the one that misunderstood us. We are talking about obsolete OS versions, and the fact that they are not updated since who knows when (security related patches). That is the problem, power has nothing to do with this fact. I can install Windows 98 Second Edition or Millenium (which is btw, worst of worst OSes ever made on this planet) on my machine and it still be very powerful, but will it be secure enough for me and for all others ? I don't think so...
Charities - tell me about them, I used to work two years fixing, cleaning and preparing those computers for all those who can not afford one. Of course, that was ok back then, since I was involved in those tasks some 10 or more years ago... Windows 98 was still quite fresh back then.
...
...but what you want to do with your computer...
Well, Just 3 years ago, I was still "figting" with my old Celeron 533... not so powerful baby, but still no one stopped me from producing thousands of graphic materials, literally hundreds of animations, more than 250 musical themes, some 3D renderings and who knows what not... so, as you can see, you don't have to have a Cray to be creative... If I can just show you what I did with my old Amiga, or even Commodore 64, then we're really start talking...
As regards win98SE , my work as a charitable distibutor of refurbished "throw away" Pentium 2&3's means we install win98 SE , get the things internet ready, distribute them to charities, and people less fortunate can get online . I feel this is better than poor people not having access to Internet services. Plus it stops these computer's polluting the environment.
Of course, this would make anyone a wonderful person. If just more people think this way that would be soooo good for this planet and for all those who really can't afford a computer... I was one of them in the past, and I know how happy I would be if my parents could just buy me one... even something low-end, I wouldn't care... I just wanted a computer, and back then, it was something like mission impossible... computers were privilege, not a common thing... and worst of all, they were sooooo unbelievable expensive... Today, just enter the Best Buy here and you can buy brand new Athlon64 driven computer for as less as $550 CAD.. unbelievable power for unbelievable small amount of money (considering what you really get, and believe me you get a lot inside because I checked all those components and they are just amazing)
Have a wonderful day everybody !
Regards !
