Before Google, Wikipedia, YouTube and many other useful websites of today, it was still possible to avoid books when researching topics, and instead, get on the computer, put in a CD and start looking up various articles using Encarta.
Encarta was released yearly on CDs from 1993 before eventually moving online and finally dying in 2009 due to competition from Wikipedia. In this episode, Diana will be trying out Encarta 98 (from 1997) on Windows 98. Make sure you stick around to see Diana attempt to speak Japanese about 12 minutes in!

In most countries, you are free to use any operating system. In some though... THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE! Say hello to Red Star OS, the operating system that almost all north koreans HAVE TO USE!
Users of this operating system are very restricted and the north korean govenment can even confiscate illegal files from your computer remotely. Wanna disable the security? Well watch out... This operating system self destructs if you disable its safety measures!
This operating system was suggested by patreon supporter InkyDink. Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq2FKHETyx_HutoyVL0Vv8Q
Please note that our Patreon is now closed, no new requests are accepted, we are just finishing old requests.
Be sure to keep an eye out on YouTube Millionaire for monthly (now 6 monthly) episodes with information about all my channels. You also get to see how much money I make from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2wLfbZrHQOxP2e5zkxYRjA")
