Topic: [Frontpage News]Bresnan Still Using Win9x

[BoneRak]

During one of my frequent channel surfs, I stumbled across the Bresnan advertising channel which displayed the message, "System Properties - Out of Virtual Memory".  If I'm not mistaken, the error message looks like it belongs to a win9x machine given the style.  I found this quite hilarious myself and thought I'd share it with the world.  Click the link for a bigger picture.  The channel is from an analog signal and is kind of fuzzy, so sorry about the. . .

When you only have a computer doing one simple task, I see old OS's being used for that. The content of the program gets updated but the computer it's self sits in a closet working like a trooper.

I guess they could have chosen Win ME, it could always be worse. You'd think some system admin over the last 7 years would have noticed and at least throw a toned down version of 2000 Pro on there for stability.

Mind you I'm working at Shaw now doing thier tech support, and I helped a guy get his Windows 3.1 back online a few weeks ago.

I'm suprised Shaw even supports 3.1 at all.

Ha ha!  Windows 3.1, too funny.  If I were you, I'd have been like, "buy a new computer...then we'll talk"
