Anyone else remember what a huge deal windows 95 launch was? With The Rolling Stones.
It always struck me that “start me up” was used for the launch, since the chorus has “you make a grown man cry” in it. It could just be my 16 year olds sense of humor at the time though.
Apparently I’m as old as DOS 2.13, but only really remember using 5.0 and 6.22, must have been 5 or so at that time.
I remember Windows 2.0 on a b/w screen (more like amber honestly), played Reversi (without knowing how it really works) and used paint to make all black images and then use the eraser to play digital mole.
Even just using PC programs makes me feel old in this day and age. That said, I am the same age as Windows XP…
Jesus Christ, get off my lawn! What is a 10 year old doing unsupervised on the internet??

Damn, you’re old enough to drink.
Yeah, this feels wrong.

That still makes you a young’un then, maybe just an old soul?
Yes, I grew up on hand-me-downs so I was still playing with floppy disks in 2013
Hah! I’m as old as MS-DOS 2.0! (But really got comfortable using computers on my own with Windows 95/98/NT 4.0)
…I was already eight years old when MS-DOS 1.0 was released.
Ugh.
At least I’m likely to die of old age before the resource wars really get kicking.

Simpler times…
That’s what I’m thinking. As for me, I better start hoarding sand or something
I was 2, but we had an Apple 2 and then Macs until I was in college and built a PC right as Win 98 released.
I just finished a Windows XP rig so I could relive some of my classic gaming moments. From my college years…
