Being one of the younger members, I do hold a certain reverence for Windows 95, it was my first time on the computer and natively held many of my first internet experiences.
I'm sure i can't be the only one that has a strong connection to this era of 90s computing. And i'm not! LGR has built a channel largely on content revolving windows 9x based machines
I think it's very natural for a person to have an affinity and/or reverence for the stuff they started out on. The animosity that you see from some of us old-timers is because we started out way, way before Windows 95, and the stuff we used was generally far and away better in just about every way. We saw Windows (95 in particular) barging in with all of its problems, and people like me in the networking world having to develop workarounds for those problems when we thought people should just use better products to begin with left a really bad taste in our mouths that just won't go away. You will never, ever get me to like Windows or even take it seriously. But I will never, ever fault you for having a soft spot for it. Given that you started there, I think there'd be something seriously wrong with you if you didn't. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
