Owen W Veteran Posted July 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2009 Heh, just thought I'd share these with yall: That's right, it's the FULL 23- disk set of Windows 95 on FLOPPY DISKS! Found them all at work, It made me laugh/feel nostalgic, so I thought I'd share with everyone! Oh, and the other thing that I discovered, is how to securely (in all seriousness) destroy data: Pretty destructive eh? It takes around 2.5 seconds to wreak that havoc on the Hard-disks.

We still have a whole bunch of them, it's crazy. Unsure why - even sometimes see Windows 3.1 floppies rolling around too...

Think about what would be the future OS in 14 years! maybe a little 32Gb Flash drive to buy and mount directly on your pc with all included :laugh: windows ssd home premium and so on....
