Windows 95 25th Anniversary

[Mr. Mac]

I wrote a poem for the windows 95 25th anniversary, here it is:

 

Windows oh windows 95, 25 years, my oh my
We've been through a lot, all the things you've taught
25 years, have just gone by
You brought the internet into our homes, our hearts
You've been here, while playing Duke 3D
The taskbar came, and won't go by
Windows Xp, the nostalgia's there, but you were the one, who got us there
When duty calls, you're the centre of the office
But now, you're outdated, and will never be back there
How many floppy's, not 1, not 2, it was 13, no more, no less
Although MS Bob failed, you didn't, you stuck beside us, until 1998
You won't be neglected, you won't be forgotten
Yet 25 years have passed, but you'll still be there
You were a change to the old, and sparked some new
You may be old, but you're still loved by few
You gave us MS solitaire, and passed many hours
You taught the kids, that give us computers 
Windows oh windows 95, 25 years, my oh my

I just got rid of a Dell Optiplex that had Windows 2000 on it, the proprietary motherboard finally let go. It had a Pentium III 1.2ghz I believe, getting very outdatted. The OS was very stable right until the end though.

Oh bummer.

Totally dated, but got your moneys worth!

I bought it cheap at a local Dell refurbisher back in 2007. It was my office computer for a few years until it was retired and used at home to play older games. In the flurry of updates now with modern versions of Windows, I do miss the days of not having an update waiting to be installed constantly. Such a simpler time, haha.

Yeah, I agree. Super simple computing then, complex now and not going to get less complex lol.
