Happy 20th Birthday, Windows 95!

Post by draclvr »

There are some pretty interesting articles out there on the release of this venerable operating system. This one has GIF files of the good old screensavers...

I remember the first time I saw the fish screensaver, it was in a computer store, I was flabbergasted! Thought it was absolutely amazing. Our first computer was a 386 and I was fairly proficient at all the DOS commands. Can hardly remember a single one now.

I loved the fish screensaver... So did our cat. She would go around the back of the monitor to see where the fish went! I'll have to see if I can find a picture I took of her watching it.

A nostalgia trip thanks Draclvr! Not sure if it was Windows 95 but I remember having a set of dinosaur images for the cursor to indicate states like busy.
