Nausea 98® (7/7/98)
SceneLink
 

Finally, a quickie from faithful viewer Amy Schneider:

I went to Borders to buy some books. One of your AtAT viewers already pointed out the Windows98 blend coffee, which was bad enough, but behind the counter were stacks of CD's for sale entitled "Music to Install Windows98 by." I must admit, I am curious and may investigate further. I wonder how long it is. Does it have "soothing" music on it, to keep the poor slob who's trying to install Windows98 from going into a rage during which he destroys his PC and then runs out to buy a Mac? I have no idea what this thing is. I hope to God it's a joke. If it isn't, it's pretty disturbing.
Really, does this need any additional commentary? ;-)

The above scene was taken from the 7/7/98 episode:

July 7, 1998: Whoops, Disney Blast is still a no-go for Mickey-starved Mac users, but that should change by the end of the month. Meanwhile, the iMac's modem speed has finally been nailed down (we think), and the wacky Windows 98 tie-ins just keep getting wackier...

Other scenes from that episode:

  • 837: Still Waiting To Blast (7/7/98)   Okay, we've gotten several reports from faithful viewers who, after yesterday's report that the Disney Blast site is now Mac-compatible, tried for themselves and failed miserably. We can only assume that when our source got in with no problems, Disney was testing the Mac-compatible version, but has since pulled it for more work...

  • 838: Problem Solved (7/7/98)   We admit, we were among the rather large group of people who raised a surprised eyebrow at the modem listed in the initial posted specs for the iMac; who, after all, didn't wonder about the inclusion of a 33.6 Kbps modem in a computer designed primarily to give home users Internet access?...
