What about still running on windows '98 with (obviously) no Internet or network capabilities?

The SEM+EDS machine in one of my school's materials labs ran 98 and there was exactly one thumb drive on campus that was allowed to be used if you wanted to pull data. The lab coordinator had to pull the output file to his computer and email them, but made it sound like the biggest inconvenience in the world if you, ya know, wanted your data.

Haha. Sounds like a classic coordinator (I've done the same). But yeah we had this old HPLC that was running on 98. No one knew the password, so I asked if they tried "password" and it worked.
