   … why are they still running on 9x, anyway? Shouldn’t they be on NT by now?

   Not that NT doesn’t occasionally BSOD too (though it can only happen due to a hardware fault or kernelspace-equivalent bug — or, of course, on purpose), but the BSODs look distinctly different…

     What? Are you 9x-ist? Sheez, some people…

     Seriously, though? I run 9x on occasion since there are some things XP+ simply can’t handle. When I’m feeling masochistic, I’ll load up 3.x or Linux.

   I once booted up a ’95 without a keyboard plugged in(it was an accident). You want to know what the computer said?
   “No keyboard was detected. Please press any key to continue.”

   I chuckle everytime I think about that. The first time thoug, I did this:

     I had the same thing happen the first time I tried to boot up my first (Win95) computer! Only the keyboard WAS connected, it just wasn’t reading it – so the message read “Lost connection with keyboard” instead. But still. The funny part? That was the only apparent glitch anybody I know ever had that could remotely be attributed to Y2k (it was a Christmas present that didn’t get booted up until New Year’s).

     I think we fixed it by hard-rebooting and it was fine.

     Still damn funny though.
