Can someone beat this?

My installation of Windows 98 is "original". It went thru a motherboard change (due to CPU fan fault), disk drive and RAM upgrades, numerous Windows Updates, virii, etc.

Hmmm, is this October 10, or May 5 1998???? 😉

Here's my old 133MHz Pentium running Windows 95.

May 22, 1998.

It came with the original Windows 95, but got a clean install of W95 OSRII at the indicated date.



(Just connected to it from home over VPN using tightVNC, then remotely downloaded and run AIDA. Nice program :))

It is October 10 so you beat it. (when year is first months are always following, I have never seen YY/DD/MM used).
Was the computer used daily? Mine is my home computer and was running 24/7. That's about 6e16 CPU cycles.
Now that I've bought a new one, I'll probably reformat it and give it to the kid.

Well, here's a much older one. A 120MHz Pentium, 48MB RAM, 1.2GB HD (!) still running my original LabVIEW 4 executables to control our spectrometer on a daily basis (but not much else ;)). It has an NI AT-MIO-16-E1 (ISA bus). Computer is always running 24/7.

Needed a new CPU fan every couple of years, but not much else.

Wow!

In 1997 I thought the code I was learning to write were "Vies" and had not learner how to spell Labview.

Earlier that same year one of the phd's in the department asked "Do you know LabVIEW?" I said "G I don't know."

It was only in retrospect that I realized what I had said.

Ben,

We still have a lot of work to do until LabVIEW is universally recognized by the general public. Just yesterday, a Professor walked up to my desk and then suddenly was wondering why I am studying the wiring diagram of my car ... 🙂

Of course people that know me better come up with the following standard answer to every conceivable (or inconceivable, or impossible, or joking) problem: "He'll just write a LAbVIEW program to solve it" (... and sometimes they're actually right!) 🙂
