Don't install Windows 95
Just listened Art Bell's broadcast in 1995. He does not like Windows 95. Lot's of problems with drivers and video cards.

So if You are thinking to install Windows 95 - DON'T DO IT.

Holly macrel, Holy Cow!!!!!

Don't do it. Art knows better.

Who the hell uses a 15 year old OS?

Heh, I keep a copy of 4.2BSD around for hunt the wumpus & adventure (Zork)....

It's only 27 years old, but it still runs....

I was thinking of patching it to work beyond 2038, but is that too Titor-ish??

lol I still have a 486SX with Win 3.11 and DOS 6.0 that has outlasted every single "pentium" 'puter that I've built.

I've built prolly 6 'puters since then,.. mostly Pentiums, a few AMDs, cyrix, ects., but that old 486SX is still plugging along.

I can't count how many HDDs that fucking thing has been through. 8 meg memory with 4 meg video.. great for all the old DOS shit.

I like my Texas Instrument 99-4-A computer. It has 16k memory and a 4mhz chip. My 300 baud modem is cool and I save my basic programs on a casette tape.

It really rocks!!

I hope to upgrade to a 1200 baud modem soon.
