Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95
 

Yup - I've still got a '95 cd (complete with happy days mpeg :)) - and a set of windows '95 floppy discs.

Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95
 

And I still see Windows 3.11 on the internet these days...

Happy birthday?

Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95
 

Heh .... Weezers! And a Rob Roy trailer?

Them war the days. I remember thinking that was the most superbly advanced thing I had ever seen. Then I saw the light and bought a Mac. ;)

Many happy hours just wandering round the space station on that Win 95 game demo CD. "Games for Windows 95" I think it was called, I think I got a free copy along with my Win95 PC. Anyone else remember it? The space station was the menu for all the demos, you accessed the games by walking into different rooms ... all the while, listening to random tannoy announcements about the station cafe running out of apples, and other equally meaningless waffle. :spin: :D

Crikey! Time does fly. I remember it well... am sure still have a Win95 CD somewhere at home too. Don't miss it at all though.

Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95
 

I still have a PC with 3.1 on. But we took the FDD out for another, more recent PC.

Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95

Windows 3.11 is still available for download from the Microsoft MSDN site. You have to subscribe to download it though (this is not cheap - a few hundred pounds a year).

It's quite funny installling it nowdays. Last time I installed it, I copied all the files from floppy to CD and installed from that. It took around 1 minute to install on a Pentium 200.. :D

Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95
 

At work we are still running live services on it.

:Yikes:

Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95
 

I used to drive a forklift that ran on windows 95 (I kid you not)

Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95
 

I remember my first ever pc had 95 on it, soon as I got it I shoved 98 on it just for the quick launch bar.

:rofl:

How things change now we have object dock :D

Thankgoodness its getting old. That O.S drove me nuts.
Everyone went mad for it when it came out but it was very buggy I recall in its early day.

Re: Happy Birthday - Windows 95
 

AFAIK we still have it on several machines at work.

Also our SMT component placement machines still use it.
