Mum Tries Out Microsoft Encarta 98 (1997) on Windows 98 (1998)

[@OsFirstTimer]

Hope you guys loved watching Diana speak Japanese from 12:20 - 15:30! Anyway, just letting you know that there won't be an OSFirstTimer video next week due to both Kitchen renovations starting as well as me doing more editing for a Sydney Fitness company. With that being said the next few months may be a bit rocky due to kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations, but hopefully you guys will see a video of tasmaZia (a hedge maze in tasmania) on sunday (will be filmed saturday hopefully). I randomly hurt my left ankle yesterday (didn't bump/twist or anything, just started hurting randomly) so I've been unable to walk today and yesterday. Hopefully that clears up tomorrow so I can film the maze video on osft vlogs tomoz :D

[@seedfree5507]

That was funny!

[@rudyiraheta80]

can you post the complete counting of diana adams from "mum tries out windows rg & windows doors (parody operating systems)"

[@JackDLong]

OSFirstTimer This video was so good that I ate some legendary pickles filled with some tasty stuff.

[@AMindInOverdrive]

Keep up the good work kiddo! Mind that ankle ;-)

[@iikurt]

The part where Diana (and you!) were trying to speak Japanese had me laughing!

[@BlazeSwordYT]

OSFirstTimer, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! THESE VIDEOS ARE WHY I STARTED TO DOWNLOAD DIFFERENT ISO FILES ON MY COMPUTER AND INSTALL THEM INTO A VM!!!!! KEEP IT UP!

[@OsFirstTimer]

No problem, in the beginning it was all about operating systems but now we go a step further and look at software from different times too which brings a lot more variety to the channel :)

[@BlazeSwordYT]

@@OsFirstTimer Yeah! I love both the software and the OS videos! And thanks for replying! I didn't think you would since I live in Canada and Canada has different time zones but, you did! So thank you so much and again, keep it up!

[@thehakergang9991]

kinda. i started because of dancoot and stopped a few months after. then i remembered osfirsttimer channel because i have been a part of the channel for over a year. and that inspired me to continue and i have a few operating systems and drivers in them for stabilising them

[@TheMrTalliban]

So many memories. Encarta really helped me at school when I was little, before Wikipedia was a thing.

[@dlarge6502]

When Wikipedia became a thing you were downmarked for using it because it could not, still can not be verified. You had to back it up with proper sources or at least confirm and mention the ones that Wikipedia relied on (at the time).

[@EnigmaticLucas]

@@dlarge6502You’re technically not supposed to cite _any_ encyclopedia, wiki or not, because encylopedias are tertiary sources. People just say that Wikipedia is untrustworthy because that’s easier to explain to kids than the real reason is.

[@ZaccoOfficial]

I haven't heard of this untill now.

[@folksurvival]

You forgot about it maybe. It was very well known and popular software.

[@ajrumore5914]

Love this channel! Keep making videos bc you and Diana are brilliant together!

[@Choom2077]

I used to us Encarta 98 quite a bit that year. Came bundled with my Windows 98 pc (my first pc ever). I was enthralled by it, as was everyone else that year who got their first PC and dial up internet.

[@aluminumscripts526]

You deserve more subs. I've been watching for about a year but took a huge gap because i got busy with school. I'm watching these videos again and they are so much better!

[@runninggames771]

I remember watching your videos in 2013. Great to see you're still doing them

[@onyxcodeShorts]

Hey Philip. I love your videos so much mate. I love to see great Aussies like you making awesome funny Tech videos for us every 2 to 3 weeks. Thanks mate once again! I enjoy your videos. Thank you so much

Diana looks younger and younger with every video. she is a breath of fresh air

[@es17abhi]

I am 14 but my Dad had an old pc and Since I grew up in town which was not highly connected to the internet till 2016..This was my childhood

[@brendowebbo]

Oh the irony... I remember that my primary school had some version of encarta installed on all its machines (incl laptops)

[@brendowebbo]

Oh and do a funny highlights mashup video of highlight snippets from all videos

[@vicbondi6514]

I helped create the features for this product. The interesting thing here is that the type of "test" she is doing here was done by our team multiple times -- in the old days this is exactly the way we would do usability and marketing tests with hundreds of people.

[@dlarge6502]

I wish they did it now. These days however everyone is forced to be a permanent beta tester

[@lithostheory]

I loved encarta when I was younger :^)

[@japoople]

Copyrighted? I don't think Microsoft gives any rats' asses about that piece of music anymore.

[@dlarge6502]

Wow, what copyright free world do you hail from? Look up copyright troll, trust me, someone owns it and will DMCA your ass automatically.

[@Sarnexus]

そのビデオは本当に面白かったです。 😂

[@winelectronic101]

15:08 makes me feel as if Diana would enjoy taking something into Google Translate from English, translating that through a bunch of different languages one by one with the new language being translated into another random language, and at the end result translating it back into English.

[@tonyc9684]

Wow Great video even though I haven't even watched the full thing I already know its great

[@OsFirstTimer]

Thanks, there was quite a bit of variety in this video so it should remain interesting throughout :)

[@bianca_cascade]

I use to spend all my time on this thing!! I remeber a different version tho a sky blue into the intro lives rent free in my mind till this day! I wish i could find it

[@Ograws]

I haven't heard of half this software you guys are showing off on this channel, it's very interesting!

A nice week of work and school to see an OSFirstTimer video on Friday night... Nice.

[@OsFirstTimer]

Haha, a "nice week of school" ;) If I were still at school, I'd probably say, "Ah, after a challenging and somewhat stressful week at school I can finally wind down on friday night to an episode of OSFirstTimer". Good to see you are being positive about school though :P

[@cutecottoncandycat340]

OSFirstTimer Heh! I actually did have a good week. Even though I did a few assessments, I found them all incredibly easy. It actually was a good week, and at my school, that’s saying something.

[@BBC600]

I out of curiosity tried making random noises into Google Translate and it translated to “How to remember a lie”.

You can’t quote WikiPedia in most university assignments, since any Tom or Dick can contribute to it. All the info on Encarta was verified, and took you to reputable sources online.

[@xanderthomson6960]

Diana's geographical knowledge is truly shocking!!!!! Great video though - thanks!

[@mattiswan1]

I love the new intro!

[@seedfree5507]

I like the new intro!

[@Voicingspy]

Second! Great to see a new video, but I kind of miss the old style like u did in Australia. Still love ur vids Philip! :)

[@OsFirstTimer]

Old style? Are you referring to shaky cam or basic tasks?

[@cashwood]

He still lives in Australia lol

[@Voicingspy]

OSFirstTimer yeah, it would be great to do a throwback/anniversary one day. Just a little recommendation, which I think would be pretty cool.

[@Voicingspy]

The Cheese Gamer He lives in Tasmania now, which is a state of Australia, so technically he is, but he's not. I watched his vlog on his other channel OSFT Historic Vlogs. Great videos on both channels! :)

[@Voicingspy]

OSFirstTimer what I mean is maybe do a video with the shaky cam and basic tasks again with your mom using windows 8 again and re-create your first video as an anniversary video.

[@nidorannidorino2719]

*Is it possible to download Encarta Virtual Globe '98?? If so will it work on today's computers?* *I remember as a kid in the late '90s playing this, I most remember the different photos you could click and these photos had their own typical music, like when you clicked on the photo of The Red Square in Moscow you could hear this mighty russian song hehe*

[@ortizrangel8650]

In 1999 I was 5 or 6 years old and I remember to beign introduce into this computing stuff by my aunt (who was a software engineer) she introduced me into the digital world with this encarta 98 , I felt like the most futuristic and smart kid in the world , I can't believe that these things exist actually.... jajaja omg I miss these days of the past 90's and the 2000 ... without Internet, until the 2000 when the Internet came to México as a private service, our national telecommunications enterprise, came with the Internet service for the general public, internet in mexico are reserved to enterprises and universities, as a beta learning and communications system of teaching and business... I remember the first time I have acces to Internet in 2001 I was 7 or 8, and I can't bealive when that window opens in my computer, my aunt and I where looking at this screen for 2 minutes like ... OK who's next? I mean I knew that she uses a private network on her work but this is the first public network, opened to possibilities... I mean my first 1 hour of Internet was like ... what's this the Web pages are so amazing, images, texts information, acces to a window of things that I never imagine to have in hand ... acces to ask the Internet what I need to know and beign answered by the searching motors , like yahoo our favourite back then and msn, we prefer yahoo.. jajaja but... lots of information, art, history, culture... lots of new facts to learn ... modern kids doesn't understand that feeling of seeing yourself so dumb and cool at the same time because they born with Internet at their hands, us the old young adults the 2000 kids discover Internet... in another way... by the experience.... it was a raw Internet, now Internet is easy intuitive ... I miss those days, I remember when I finished my first Internet navigation session and asked my aunt, what is this ? She answer me , the future ..... anyways in 2001 I'm still going to my local library to doing research for homework, remember Internet is edited by people so ... Wikipedia never be a sure option to search information, amd back then the official pages have not all the information and support that they have these days ... Internet was a support option back then the beta of the information technologies...

[@dlarge6502]

I collect CDROM and DVD-ROM encyclopaedias, an excellent resource for information that doesn't change and a historical verification of information that does.

I hated intro music on these things. If I had to use the encyclopaedia at school the last thing I wanted was to have a bit of my life wasted as Microsoft try to make me wonder at the power of a computer. Perhaps it's because I already knew, I built my own computers at the time. I also generally hated sound effects on buttons, very cheesy.
