How have you been?

I wonder whether the seller can prove that it is the only one in the world, as they claim.

Post by: rowdy on Tue, 06 May 2014, 18:14:46: Windows 95 was the first "interesting" version of Windows. I quite liked it, actually.

I have a couple of unopened Windows 2000 Professional - I wonder what they would sell for.

Win2k was a great OS. Almost equal in usefulness to WinXP. All of the NTs were decent IMO.

Bah, at least MS let me skate with a few grand.

I somehow vaguely remember this. I also remember all the fun we had modifying system files to play funny sounds from wav files.

You bet, I use to connect WAV files to folders that played 'fart sounds' when selected/opened :thumb: . Those were the good old days with Microsoft, which will never happen again......

Of course, if it was legit anyway. But, I suspect that Microsoft hardly bothers to check.

If you even attempted to create any kind of Windows 95 "account" would it even exist?

Well, if you create an account, doesn't that count as bringing an account into a state of existence? I think that may answer your question already!
