A blast from the past, as yesterday was Windows 95's 25th anniversary. Microsoft released Windows 95 25 years ago, on August 24th 1995! Back in 1995 I was 26 year old hardcore DOS programmer (Turbo C, Tubo Pascal, Turbo Assembler)  If you're nostalgic for Windows 95 after watching this video, you

Back then I was a hardcore pirate. Hacking games, finding cheats, copy disks then cds, bypassing protection with modified exe's.
Remember when it took 1 hour to burn a 650mb cd.....
Now it takes 5 mins to burn a 20gb bluray.
And Windows 95 workstation came on 8x 1.2mb discs and took about 3 hours to install then another 6 hours to set up. Now Windows 10 is a 7gb download which takes 4 hours (thanks for the throttling m$) and setup is from the cloud so if you've already set up your account before it downloads all the settings in the background and takes a few mins to fix a few little mods. |

| How old is Linux? 29. And it's still around and kicking, with more and more games coming, thanks to Microsoft's crappy OSes. |

| x4 speed Sony CD burner - with 'special' writing pen lol. 640MB Quantum Fireball HDD. Luxury! All for £1,700 Still couldn't always burn a data disk reliably. I used PKZip to copy Doom, RoTT etc to umpteen floppies for 'home use'. I always bought the games anyway for manuals and boxes. My Win 95 CD ( i still have it) suffered CD rott. Remember that? |
