A little-known fact about Windows 98 is that it was available as a set of 39 DMF-formatted floppy disks, special order from Microsoft, for people with computers that didn't have a CD-ROM drive. Few copies of it exist, but thanks to someone who imaged their copy and uploaded it on WinWorld, anyone can play with it today. In this video, I install the floppy disk version of Windows 98, on a real computer, using real floppy disks, in real-time.

The installation starts at 4:40 and ends at 2:05:30. There were 66 floppy disk swaps, not counting those where I accidentally put in the wrong disk.

As noted in the video, I accidentally performed an upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows 98 rather than a clean installation. However, I did a clean installation afterward, and it took about as long and about as many floppy disk swaps. The only difference was I was asked the questions that were skipped in the upgrade install (type of installation desired, time/date, etc).

A look at the current configuration of one of my AT whitebox machines.

My boyfriend (www.youtube.com/44ct232) sent me another box of awesome vintage computer stuff for my birthday! This stuff will appear in future videos to come.

I still need to make videos of some of the stuff he sent me in the last package, too...

A far too in-depth look at a $5 ReStore find that required a little repair.

Something I want to mention - I was critical of the quality of Seabreeze's products in this video, but I do not think they are bad. I just expected better than the mainstream fan and fan heater manufacturers. But I think they are at least as good as the "mainstream" fan and fan heater manufacturers, and I invite my North American viewers to consider them if you're ever shopping for one, and help support a small Canadian manufacturer.

Mom and I have had many heaters from the major manufacturers that inexplicably stopped working over the years, including a memorable Holmes fan heater that erupted in a shower of sparks. By comparison, this is the second Seabreeze heater I've had experience with, and it only blew a thermal fuse due to a mishap.

Despite my frequent lubricating, my Super fan has had a problem with rattling, and, most recently, being very slow to start up. So in this video, I take the motor completely apart to give it a full cleaning and lubrication.

As of uploading this video, a month since I filmed it, the fan is still running well and rattle-free.

I've finally accomplished something that I've been wanting to do for years - I devised a way of wirelessly transmitting a signal to my portable TVs, so I can use them truly portably throughout my apartment, just like they were originally intended.

This is less costly and less risky than buying a used Blonder-Tongue Agile Modulator.

Although I've had it for 9 years, I've only now decided to finally go through my Dad's old toolbox. I discovered that I have something rather special, and so in this video I give it a thorough cleaning, and what I suppose you could call a partial restoration.

In the next video we'll go through what my Dad left in the toolbox.

I may make another video in the future, in which I clean up the rust on the bottom.

This is a device that has been on my list of holy-grail pieces of electronicry to acquire for years. In this video we do a full overview, demonstration (within the limits of the functionality of my particular unit), and a look at the contextual history of the device through vintage magazine articles.
