If you remember booting up Windows 98 on a beige tower that sounded like a jet engine preparing for takeoff, congratulations—you've unlocked a core memory that Gen Z will never understand.

Back when "downloading a song" meant leaving your computer on overnight and praying nobody picked up the phone. When your entire dev environment fit on a 20GB hard drive and you thought you'd never fill it up. When the blue screen of death was just a regular Tuesday.

Those chunky CRT monitors, that satisfying mechanical keyboard click, and the absolute chaos of driver installation from floppy disks. Simpler times? Maybe. More painful? Definitely. But somehow we still get nostalgic about it.
