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.

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.

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..
