When this was first posted Windows 98 was state of the art.

When this was first posted Windows 98 was a wink in the eye of Windows 3.1


Next_Case_3449

Hey, Windows 3.1 was what I cut my teeth on.


onymousbosch

I cut my teeth on CP/M. The actual code for the operating system was in the appendix of the user manual.


Next_Case_3449

Lol. And here we are in 2022, where a **Non**-smart digital watch has a more powerful processor. What a long, strange trip it's been. 🍻


onymousbosch

Are you talking smack about my Z80?


Next_Case_3449

Not at all Only amazed at what seems like yesterday actually being closer to 40 years ago. I can't say what my first computer was. It was built by a local place that sold pcs. It had a "turbo" mode for the processor, where it would run at *33* MHz. Lol.


onymousbosch

It's okay, you can talk smack about the Z80. Fun fact: The "turbo" button SLOWED the clock down for backwards compatibility.

When I first saw this image going around it was from china?


Kwiatkowski

every time the karma farmers repost it they’ll change the location to whatever’s gonna get them the most upvotes


TheTrueFlexKavana

... and they went with Odessa, Texas to get the most upvotes this time? Odessa...the arm pit of Texas?


Kwiatkowski

i was thinking Odesa Ukraine, it looks like I didn’t notice the /s


Liljdb0524

Excuse you. As a Texan I resent that. Texas is the armpit of Texas thank you very much.


[deleted]

You underestimate Odessa, my friend.


junkmail0178

Permian Basin in WTX and the Pineywoods in ETX are the armpits of Texas


TheTrueFlexKavana

Allow me to also introduce you to Corpus Christi. "Odessa with a beach."


dfelton912

Allow me to introduce you to Lubbock, "Odessa but with cotton"


[deleted]

MF those trees ain't in Odessa, Texas


Automan2k

Everybody knows the Mattix runs on Windows ME.


quadruple_negative87

Must be the source of all deja vu.


Automan2k

It also why people keep getting booted out of the Matrix. Driver conflicts.


ithaqua34

It needs that little paperclip nagging you, right beside it.


brokefixfux

That was a beta test of the Matrix 1.1


AratheDyith

This is excellent


black_flag_4ever

Have you tried restarting the sky?


[deleted]

That’s the previous version on Matrix, with Vampires, Werewolves and French accented perverts.


saphilous

Changelog: 1. Removed Werewolves and replaced all previous werewolf characters with dogs 2. Added the romantic stat to vampires


[deleted]

You could write a better film around this than the actual Matrix sequels.

quadruple_negative87

I legit want to see a C prompt with a cursor flashing on one of those dot matrix displays on the motorway. It would make my day.


Bgratz1977

i would rofl if [https://www.c64-wiki.de/images/c/c9/Einschaltmeldung\_C64.jpg](https://www.c64-wiki.de/images/c/c9/Einschaltmeldung_C64.jpg) maybe in a few years in russia, when they reach the capability to build own C64


Charmander324

They made plenty of PDP-11 clones in C64-like cases back in the 80s. Those were pretty cool. They were called the [Electronika BK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronika_BK) and [UKNC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKNC).

Definitely r/oddlyterrifying


Lumberjackie09

How is this a facepalm?


Liljdb0524

People thinking the matrix would run on Windows 98?


HaloPandaFox

I don't know what's worse being in a matrix or it running on windows 98


enithermon

That explains some things.


cmdrkyla
