Thank you so much! I'm amazed you know Windows 98, when you were born that year! Until recently, I kept my original Windows 3.1 floppy disks and Windows 95+98 CD-ROM's ...
I suspect Muhammad knows Win98 from an engineering-archaeology class... :) Floppy Disks are the stone cuneiform tablets of the Internet.
I have a 23 year old site I need to do some maintenance on or maybe migrate to Wordpress, just for the sake of posterity. It's Classic ASP plus "Windows Script Components" and a little ASP.Net in one or two places. Truly horrorshow. The idjit who wrote the code -- namely, me -- clearly didn't know what he was doing.

I found a comment in my code that read "This function is unmaintainable garbage" :) which is to say that even when I wrote it, I knew I shouldn't. Believe me, no one else EVER touched this code, so that had to be me.

In early 2000s computers in my country were very rare and where I lived, there were extremely rare. My dad got us Pentium 3, it was darn expensive. Windows 98 was the first Windows I used.
It was only a few years later we installed Windows XP. Also remember playing Age Of Empires one and two. Good old days. I never used a floppy disk myself but saw my brother used it once. CDs were the norm though.

I also thought "who the hell coded this s***" when I looked at my old code!

Cool! Performance was SO important back then - 2-4 MB websites, as is the norm today, would take minutes to load.
