I remember installing Win95 from a stack of floppy discs, and also Office from a stack of around 35 floppy discs . . . Ah them was teh days, none of this "Stuff in a DVD and forget it"
Those were the days when PC users were REAL men, and not just "everybody's" When networking meant installing EXTRA software UNDER windows to let it work over a network, and network cables were nice chunky coax cables with reliable BNC plugs on the ends.
Unfortunately, they were also slow PCs.
1st PC Spec, 8086 CPU @ 8Mhz, 640KB RAM, 40MB HDD, 720K floppy.

Oh yes, and in a way things were more interesting then as you had to think what you were doing.
These youngsters nowadays havnt got a clue, if you were to put most of them in front of a PC running Windows 95, they wouldnt know where the hell to start.
As a matter of interest ive still got Windows 98se running on one of my older PC's and it still holds its head up in many areas.
These kids who claim to know all about computing, after running a pre-installed Vista PC / Laptop for a couple of weeks make me die with laughter.
If the technology now was as it was ten years ago they wouldnt know where to begin
