experience!

hello people!
how are you?
in this post i will tell you my experience in...

using virtualbox

windows xp...

an interesting throwback.
it's pretty good, supports most of updated softwares and stuff like that.
obviously, some people might actually still use xp.

windows 2000...

now this, is crazy.
an ultimate retro feeling. i haven't tried win me, 98, 95, which is what i also going to try. some websites are difficult to access. but i can visit this blog. +1 point lol.

now, i didn't just try those two, i also tried windows 98, and i'm willing to try windows 95 and 3.1 too.
and windows me just to know how bad it was.

i mean i tried installing windows me but, it failed several times for me. i don't know if i got the wrong iso image file or whatever, but i might need to follow a tutorial from youtube.

windows 98...

installed once, failed. and the second time, finally worked with some issues. but i managed to get through those.
when i finally got it working, and seeing that desktop with few applications and stuff, first thing first i tried installing guest additions. i can't. apparently it doesn't work with 9x/me OS.
but i was fine, i found out how to resize the guest screen, plus, more colors.
then i got a problem, i can't access the internet. internet's working, but i kept getting an error on internet explorer.
so i thought, well maybe it'll work with firefox. so then i downloaded an older version of firefox that's compatible with windows 98, on my host pc.
now another problem, i didn't know how to send it to my guest pc. i tried googling. many solutions that didn't work with me including, using bridged network, and through usb flash drive.
there was one solution they told me but i saved it for later because i didn't think it was gonna be easy, until i had no other choice. i decided to do this one, when i realized, "oh yeah i do have the tool". then i created an iso file with firefox installer inside. now finally i can transfer the file.
firefox installed, internet worked!

then with the internet working i installed an older version of gimp, an image editor software. which i have in my host pc. and also installed 7z, and minesweeper because it didn't have it installed.

wow that's was a long story i typed all about my experience with windows 98. internet was a bit slow though.

overall using virtualbox is quite a fantastic experience. especially since windows xp is the first OS i've ever touched (not literally).

so using it, i could try and have my own experience with older OSes (especially microsoft's). and maybe i'm gonna also try Linux and Mac OS X.

oh maybe i should try blogging on one of my guest PCs? f yeeeah totally!! XD

so yeah.
more things i wanna talk about...
movies.
i'm planning to see Assassin's Creed and Passengers sometime soon but i still don't have the schedule when i literally have nothing to do this week lmao.

well
that's an accurate representation of my whole life.

but i'm gonna watch 'em that's for sure.

that was a lot to talk about. i guess that's all for this post. thanks for reading, hope you have a great day and i'll see you next time, byee! :)

-Kam had a fantastic experience.
