You might struggle, pre 96 won't have USBs and win 95 rev A and B had no support for USB. I don't know where you'd get the rev C patch from nowadays. I think even if it has USB you'd struggle to find a WiFi dongle with win 95 or 98 drivers or a PCI WiFi card for that matter. I doubt your isp provides a dial up number so that's not likely to work either. If you can find a PCI network card with drivers you could probably connect it to your router that way.

Best hope this thing is late 90s with USB ports and you can find a WiFi dongle with win 98 drivers or you might get xp running on it but then it's not so much old school as it is just slow.

Maybe he'll become famous when they release a new TV series on Discovery orHGTV -

Teen Hoarders
Or how much crap can you wedge in just your one bedroom.

And we already have the always popular spin-offs

Siblings of Teenage hoarders
hell no it's not in the DNA their just CRAZY.

And the ever popular


Parents of Teen Hoarders
Or we don't really care why anymore
we just want them accepted into any out of state college
so they'll leave and take all the junk with them.



And then in about a decade they can have the final chapter

Storage wars Vs/the storage unit of a Teenage Hoarder
or really in 20+ years on this show we've never had a unit with no cash value!
We didn't really think it could ever happen literally nothing of value in the Whole thing
Why were they even paying the rent on this crap.
It's not a Collection can't you tell an obsession when you see it.

The youth has a clean, cheap hobby. Why disrespect him? He is fascinated by our society's cast off's that, while still functional, marketing gurus have told us that it is out of date and worthless. And, no, life is not better because of the magic of colored TV.

Apple is now telling us that our "clumsy desk top AND our lap top computers" are obsolete (their words) .... pFEH! They told me desk top computers days were over when lap tops first came out. I still have my desk top and NO lap top.

My television is a "clumsy" CRT. It was a cast-off by a 20 something who wanted something cooler. I got it for free. And, for the time being is not taking up land fill space. I cannot say the same for her first nor her second flat screen TV.

PC Hoarders. You and my stepfather might get along well! One tech related thing I should have besides a computer and phone/ipod related things is a Macintosh computer so I could do some REAL graphic design. Many a-album cover were created on a Macintosh. One example I can think of is Ace Frehley's Anomaly (which is a very oddball yet cool cover, hence the album title.). But then again he is the only musician that I have ever read or heard them talking about computers. Not many musicians talk about what technology was used to create their album covers.
"Let me tell you my story....I got a man-size predicament, and it's a big one...and it goes like this...yeah..."

Take a Gibson Les Paul, throw a DiMarzio Super Distortion in it, plug it into a Marshall amp and turn it up to 10. It's pretty much a no brainer!- Ace ****in' Frehley
I don't see why we have to go through all the bullshit of high school just to be musicians- Alex Lifeson
It doesn't matter how fast you can play or how many chords you know, if you can't play the blues, go the **** home you ain't worth nothin'- Richie Scarlet
Critics love Elvis Costello because they all look like him- David Lee Roth
Ace is God- Dimebag Darrell (RIP. 1966-2004)
Like is too strong a word...I don't really like anybody- Chris DeNicola (I love Road Rants)
You can keep the drugs, I'll take the sex and the rock n' roll- Paul Stanley
Thanks..I like to play...- Garth Algar (AKA Dana Carvey)

And most importantly....**** OFF ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME! (Gene Simmons, Eddie Trunk, and anyone who matters)

Tell me Fender Guy, have you ever thought of taking apart all of these old and useless devices you have and making something better or something completely different out of it?
