15 Years Later: Remembering Windows 95
Posted on September 1st, 2010 at 02:24 3 commentsCheck out this blog written by Brandon LeBlanc on what Windows 95 was like 15 years ago.
ah, the memories of upgrading from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95 on an old Compaq computer in early 1996 when it came pre-installed with Windows 3.11 but also bundled a Win95 upgrade CD.

My Dad went from CPM to Windows 95. That story does take me back!

I remember the wags that claimed the 95 referred to the number of disks it came on or the number of hours it took to load. I got it pre-loaded and loved it.

I worked for an insurance firm as the de facto IT geek among other things. I had to update our 3.11 for Workgroups machines to 95 using an external single-speed CD-ROM that I first had to install the drivers for from floppy. It took about a day to do the upgrade on a single machine. Ah, good times…
