I hate to tell you "asshats" this, but Windows 98 is actually a 16 and 32-bit hybrid system. It's basically Windows 95 with IE integrated into explorer.
It crashes alot, because it's an operating system designed to run 32-bit applications, but still runs on a 16-bit subsystem, namely DOS.
Alot of instabilities, however, aren't the cause of 'Doze itself, and are usually IRQ conflicts and/or lame, fagass applications (read: AOL) being installed by the user.
Ted: What a cockup this Windows 98 is.
Bill: You try doing something better with reused code, assclown.

Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.
"My boyfriend has a total case of brain worms. He told me the cat was bugged so the Feds could listen in on us having sex..."

or

"You totally stumbled over that entire sentence. Can't speak English all of a sudden? What, do you have brain worms?"

An operating system that is better than even the latest MAC OS
Windows 98 crashes a lot less often and you can do more things on it than a MAC

A fairly okay OS that seems to crash a lot more often when used by geeks and Linux zealots, especially those who claim that Windoze is soooooo easy to use. Well if it is easy to run, then you shouldn't have a problem running it in the first place.
Or could it be true that geeks truly are less intelligent than they claim they are after all?
A clean install does not mean just loading the fricking OS onto the computer. Any Windoze-using idiot knows that Windows 98 reboots a bunch of times before the system becomes operational, and requires the CD THROUGHOUT the ENTIRE installation process.
