I have a feeling it represents the Windows 95/98 versions...

Thanks in advance.

You know WSB has nothing more to say when he starts to recycle his witty remarks. :P

Yeah, but I think we figured that out about him about 1500 posts ago :)

He needs to find another picture post site or something :)

Ow. That was just mean, Sweeney. :cry: Well, at least you insulted me in less than 500 words and without having to resort to the thesaurus! :twisted:

Boy you sure are quick off the cuff. I'm sure people keep you around purely for the entertainment value. :lol:

Word.

I think I've mentioned once or twice that I still use a AMD K6 computer, so please excuse my inability to discern one of the billion computer acronyms Microsoft comes up with to confuse its consumers. :D

Win 9x is the lastest OS.

I think there is a distinction btw. Win 9X and NT, 2K, ME and XP. That's why they use the abbreviation. 9X doesn't mean the latest iteration of Windows, it means any of Win95a, b, Win98, 98SE --- or were you just joking?

Not all Win 9X software is compatible with XP and NT

i think that was just for the 90's decade, it was supposed to b an abreviation for versions of windows that came out in the 90's, just replace the x with the year (i.e. 95, 98, etc.).

I was joking. Even ME can be considered 9x.......
