supersundae Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 The good ol' times of Windows crashing and reinstall from scratch on a 2x CD-ROM drive... At least I had a CD-ROM drive back then! Quote
aditk8149 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Certainly! During this very time, I came to know what is a computer and how it can make my life amzing! I really wonder how I used to enjoy my time on a computer that ran on 200MHz Intel Pentium with 32MB of RAM! Nowadays, I meet some people who are not satisfied with 4GB RAM! Quote
OhioTom76 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I was 18 when that came out, I think. That was like a year before I finally went out and bought my very first Windows machine. Prior to that I had grown up in a household that only had Apple computers. My Windows machine was also my very first computer of my own. It was a Packard Bell with Windows 95, and a whole lot of stupid crap that Packard Bell loaded on to it which made the system practically unusable. Most of the software didn't even work right out of the box when I first set it up. Quote
qaximor Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Haha I am not that old to remember this, but! I do remember the first computer we had at home was with windows 98. It costed us around 1600 Euros. I was too young to know a lot about computers so the only thing I used to do on it was play games with a CD that it came with like tetris and such. I love classic windows it's the best! Quote
Kakashi2020 Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Ahh Windows 95, I still remember those days I was still using my trusted Pentium 1 - 166 MHz clone in '95 with Windows 3.1. It was a relief when Windows 95 was released I got such an upgrade. Quote

WisTex Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Yes, I remember it well. It was such an advancement over Windows 3.0, which was my first taste of Windows after MS DOS. Quote
fishbate Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Lol, Win95 was the first system that i have ever learned. Back then it was so complicated because i didn't even know how to use a mouse. I remember spending long hours just to practice typing and just exploring. Happy days.... Quote
EfficientNinja Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 I was born that year. It seems fun looking a few years back. I can't relate that much because I don't know people are this enthusiastic about a new operating system's release. It looks like you guys didn't get sleep the day before Windows 95 released to get in line first. Quote
Carly Swinson Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 LoL seeing this make me feel old. What a revolution that was in computer world. i liked working on DOS but the invention of Windows has made everything much easier. Quote
Bravosi Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Pretty sure I was still in baby clothes during those times, hehe. But I did have WIN 95/98 indeed, my first ever games on PC (I'm a gamer) were introduced back then. They were Starcraft and GTA. Fun times. Quote
Alania Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 I miss those times haha! Windows 95 was a great innovation back at that time, and now when you look at it you get the impression of some old glitchy thing. Quote
Jelineex Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I can't remember that scenario since I don't have computer at home. I was only using school facilities. I recall it using windows DOS. Mostly, of the extra storage files are diskette or floppy disk. Windows application weren't used. I was using Wordstar and Lotus application. This were the olden days. Good old times. Quote
Kaushik Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Windows 95 was a hit version of the Operating System makers. It ran on many systems around the world and people became used to it for a while before Windows 99 was launched. It was certainly faster than the previous versions and had many more options. Quote

Oddly enough, when I changed from Windows 95 to 98, and then XP I was really confused in terms of the interface. Obviously, being a Win 7 user now, I would have a hard time feeling comfortable with Win 95/98. The design is clunky. XP is 50/50. Strange how time changes the view on certain things. Quote
theresajane Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I'm glad that that is not our current situation anymore. Thanks to the constant upgrade in the technology that made everything possible. Quote
faithuy56 Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Of course! I could still remember those times. I was studying in College during that time. We have a basic computer subject included in our course. Quote
Ronwald Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Ah yes, the Windows 95. It was actually reported that Microsoft paid the Rolling Stones $8 million dollars so that they can use the song 'You Start Me Up' as the launch theme song haha, good times 🤣 Quote
