Right-click dragging files off a floppy and making multiple shortcuts off them directly in the root of your C drive is just pure chaos energy.

32 MB - THE POWER USERS!

I love the way 80s and 90s video looks. I miss it :( It looks so much warmer and softer than todays ultra HD. Nostalgia...

[@DarioVolaric]

Don't copy that floppy! Priceless!!!

[@Enigmatism415]

His RAM recommendations are exactly 1000 times larger today, 23 years later. 4 possible but not recommended, 8 minimum, 16 for power users, and some may even want as much as 32.

It's strange how the sound of a dialup modem once sounded high-tech and futuristic, but now sounds extremly retro.

[@LionheartNh]

The temptation to copy a floppy is just to great.

IMHO Windows 95 was the beginning of the modern PC

[@SpeedRacer-pz9jn]

OS2 warp worked faster

What they have Windows 95 already, here I'm stuck on Windows 11.

Windows 95 looks very promising indeed. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

Aww I wished they still made this show. I wasn't old enough to have watched most episodes, but I like going back through them to see what tech was like way back when and this show does a fantastic job at explaining tech

Windows 95, Microsoft Plus!, and Tower Records? This video is a nostalgia overload!

[@kookoon]

Back when using a computer was fun!

For me, taskbar is actually one hell of a feature even now. Side note: I'm using osx daily for ~10 years and I miss having proper taskbar there.

“Get rid of any virus you have before you upgrade” like that’s the only time you wanna get rid of viruses 😂

Today marks Windows 95's 25th anniversary, a perfect time to watch this cool Computer Chronicles episode! It was the first operating system I ever used since I began using it on an actual desktop PC in 1999, which my parents got rid of back in 2002 when our Windows 95 PCs were replaced by Windows XP PCs, like for me, an HP Pavilion desktop PC with Windows XP Home Edition on it. I have lots of fond memories of both Windows 95 and Windows XP! They were fantastic operating systems, but today's focus is Windows 95.
