TrendMicro guy told Wolf Blitzer off, yet they still try to make it a big deal because of their computers going down.

TheWahbinator Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 off topic but is it me or was there a windows 96? 586387187[/snapback] No, that was the cancelled "Nashville", Windows 95 with IE integration which became Windows 98 :pinch: BTW, in the background I saw one of the computers show the timed shutdown box -- they must be really h4x0r3d.
