First Casio wrist camera. Any chance this can connect to modern computers or devices?
If it's Windows, you can probably just use an external CD drive or look for an ISO copy online. For the most part, old Windows software still works with modern Windows (REALLY old software will be 16-bit and will need NTVDMx64 to work on 64-bit). Though I'm not sure about the driver itself. If it's a generic protocol, it might just be plug-and-play

Help getting NTVDMx64 installed
I've seen NTVDMx64 mentioned in the BBS community, as it's supposed to install a 16-bit NTVDM on 64-bit editions of Windows. I've been trying to get this installed on my main desktop PC at home (running Windows 11 64-bit), but I always run into some errors trying to install it, and it doesn't seem to install completely (I am unable to run 16-bit DOS programs).

Not Tech Savvy- Seeking insight on why windows is a better operating system then Linux
Well... Windows is always the best option because of its backwards compatibility. Even with some small apps (like NTVDMx64, or similar) you can even make Win10/Win11 run software made to run in 16-bit (or, Windows 3.1 or Win95). I've had to do that for some edutainment software for my son.

An actual good thing about Windows 11 rollout: 64-bit only
If you really want DOS apps on 64-bit there's https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64 or use a flavour of DOSBox.

I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.
With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

ReactOS Newsletter 103 – Late 2023 News
ReactOS is sometimes very disappointing. Take the issue with toolbar icons, for example. Toolbar icons in at least Office 97, Office 2000 and Visual Basic 6 were affected, as was some game [0]. Microsoft Office is a complex Win32 application, making it a good guinea pig for testing compatibility. And yet, this was fixed a few months ago, and the Office bug was reported in 2016 [1]. The bug with no text wrapping for tray balloons is also an embarrassing thing to have lingering for years (I assume it was like this since the balloons were first implemented in ReactOS).
Does the world really need a buggy Windows Server 2003 reimplementation? I think the efforts of the development team could be better spent elsewhere.

Windows 9x and Word 9x at 800x600 resolution. Spacious. Comfy
> It's whitespace. There's wayyyy too much god damn whitespace in modern UIs, and it's awful.
I wanted to see how LibreOffice would compare on my netbook, and frankly it's better than the new Word, but still "worse" than the old version: https://i.imgur.com/cWGYh3M.png
That said, at least LibreOffice lets you have your custom themes and actually offers a variety of different interface layouts, which I think is a nice touch: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Videos/User_interface
> Windows 7 with the Classic theme (which really was just a slight evolution over Win2K) was peak UI/UX, and you'll never change my mind. It's been downhill ever since, getting worse and worse with each generation.
To be honest, I'm inclined to agree with this. That's also why I rather enjoyed the Redmond theme even in *nix distros. There's just something so very usable about the old Windows look and more modern attempts, such as SerenityOS https://serenityos.org/ and even ReactOS https://reactos.org/
