I woke up with the song Start Me Up by the Stones in my head. Don't know why. But that reminded me of the promotion of Windows 95 some thirteen years ago. Kids nowadays have no recollection typing "win" at the DOS prompt after the computer booted up to run Windows 3.1 (or anything earlier) or how frequently you got the BSOD (the blue screen of death). Worse still, how it took ten or more 3.5" floppies to even install Windows onto your computer, you know before the advent of CD-ROMs. I doubt my 26 year old sister even remembers that... though my mom wouldn't remember that either, at least by experience, as she never used a computer really back then.
Any of you remember that?
