here is an interesting video of a guy who upgrades a pc (Virtual Machine) from Windows 1.0 thru Windows 7. It's interesting what continues to work thru every upgrade.

Not me! Installed them all... And honestly never had a problem with ME or any other one. However Win7 really makes file sharing a PITA when you just want to hook up two computers quickly... security is a tad crazy lol |

I suppose but ME was very limited in that sense as well from what little exposure i had to it. |

| I got a computer with ME pre-installed, but I had to install Windows 2000 Pro to use some software I needed for work ... and that's the same one I'm using right now. ;-) |

Win 2000 Pro was the best OS I've tested and used for a long time. Vista and 7 took the OS into different dimension, good or bad, it's up to individual user I guess. On my Toshiba Satellite L505 laptop "Win 7 Home Premium 64bit" is working very good without a glitch for about a year... and I use it A LOT |

Um... I guess it might be useful one day.... file it next to the stone tablets :-)
Anyone know the machines that could print multi colours and had that AMAZING smelling stuff you did the master in... Ditto machines maybe?? I remember them from primary school and how I LOVED LOVED the smell of the paper from those things.... green & purple smelt the best from memory..... Not doubt carcinogenic but hey has not done me any harm :-)

Dittoâ„¢ is a trade name for the generic device called a "spirit duplicator" because it used an alcohol-based fluid to loosen a layer of waxy ink from the back of the master and allow it to transfer to the paper. If you really nursed them along you could coax a hundred copies off one master.
Mimeograph® is a trade name (of A.B. Dick Co.) for duplicators which use a technique of forcing a liquid or paste oil-based ink through gaps in the resist layer of the master, in a process similar to silkscreening.
If you want real Luddite-ism, my elementary school used to have a couple of hand letter-presses, complete with cabinets of metal letters you set one-at-a-time and backwards. "Leading" was actual strips of lead placed between the lines of type. I used them in about the fourth or fifth grade to print up card pockets for our library books.
BTW: I've long advocated baked clay tablets as an ideal medium for storing binary data; cheap, easy data-entry and recovery ... true, not that much data density, but a proven 7000-year readability life ... ;-)
