Hello guys! I am Cydran. Okay? Goodbye.

I'm joking. I'm generally a nice guy, I try help people when I can and make anywhere at all a funner, happier place. I have a collection of different computer hardware and even software, from the old '98 style of monitors to several copies of Windows 98 (Because I definitely needed them then).
I admit, I am meerly fourteen years of age at the moment, but I remember being a gamer since I was under five years of age (I've got a horrible memory, not being able to remember much from my childhood). My dad used to set me and my brother up a LAN game of Microsoft Monster Truck Madness and we'd race it out and see who wins -- on two computers right next to each other.

I'm not fimiliar with many of the names of, say, the monitors, towers and hardware of my computer, nor many others, so I am very sorry if I am not catching along when there is a conversation about vintage computers. I would be much appreciated if I am taught such information.

Anyway, I hope you all get to know me much more than how I explained. I hope to have a great time and meet such a great community.
Goodbye!

Welcome to the forums! I too have MS Monster Truck Madness. My cousin likes to play that one. Great to see that older technology still lives on in the far places in the world.
 
Welcome :) Everyone starts somewhere. It was always fun for a lot of us to reach out to technology that we missed out on and learn some of our past. To a lot of us 98 is pretty new ;-) but I'm glad to see the motivation and we're always happy to have more folks learning and showing interest in the vintage computing field.

I used a 386 until with windows 3.11 until the release of Windows ME.
Now I am a nutcase when it's about OCS and ECS amiga's.

I am not sure but are we gonna add windows 98 to our list of vintage systems to he honest i Still use those at work as a test bench.

Your quote reminds me of a time long ago.

So back around 1979 or so I was down in Atlanta, GA for PDP-11/44 training, and an older guy and myself went to Six Flags (an well-known US amusement park) to ride the only (at the time) loop-the-loop roller coaster. We got in line and saw a bunch of kids waiting extra time in a line for the first car of the coaster.

My fried asked one of them, about a 12-13 year old girl, "why wait the extra time for the front"?

She said "Because it's funner"
George said "Funner? What's 'funner'?"
She said "It's just like Runner but with an F"

The end of the story was a couple older guys riding more than once aournd the loop, hands in the air!

Welcome.
