Re-Learning Technology

Posted by on 13 May 2008 | Tagged as: my life., Tech Stuff.

This week, I’ve been working on bring back to life a couple of older office computer to turn into day care ‘play’ computers.
I had three old computers, purchased in 2001 (I actually have one computer identical to these still in use), before Windows XP was released, so they all came with Windows 98se installed on them. I had since upgraded them to Windows XP, and so this week, I’m combing three crappy computers into two killer 98se machines.
One of them had no sound card (which renders it useless as a day care gaming computer), one bad a bum hard drive, and another had a bad hard drive fan and cd-rom drive. So I parted out the one unit, split its ram between the other two machines, and am working on getting the 98se machines back up and running.
I have one going strong, and working on the second one. It’s actually much harder than I remembered, because I don’t remember much about 98se. So today, I am re-learning the 11-year technology! I’d much rather be working on a mac!
