A look at an old Gateway Solo 2500 computer, from the late 90s. When this was given to me, it had Windows 98 on it. Because there was personal information present, I reformatted it and installed the earliest version of Windows I had handy at the time, which was Windows 2000. Its been running Windows 2000 since then, but for practicality reasons I decided its time to upgrade.

But before the Windows XP gets installed, I figured I'd show you a little Windows 2000, take a look at some iconic screen savers, and listen to some iconic sounds.

Also, I realize I sounded rather disgusted when the telephone rang. Despite that reaction, I actually like getting calls; it just always seems to be that the half hour I'm recording something is when people tend to call..
