I remember this so vividly... waiting on the edge of my seat for my Dad to tell me it was time to change disks... The program manager icon hiding behind some cryptic error after all that time and effort...

Found these cleaning out my parents basement yesterday. I thought someone might get the same hit of nostalgia that I did. I'll most likely attempt to install on an old box I use for an ancient eeprom programmer. Can't wait 😄

I recently installed windows95 from floppy disk just for the "fun" of it.

I remember doing that with the Win95 beta. Was on 486DLCs and was so bloody slow.

The sounds of the drive singing, doing it's very best, will always have a place in my heart
