AmigaOS, Mac OS, TOS, GEM and even GEOS would like a word.

Maybe get one with a shark attached?

DOS 1.x didn't support subdirectories. Fortunately it also didn't like disks bigger than 160/320KB.

Guess what.. My box is running OSR2 while I could have sworn I used my RTM set and I didn't even notice! I really am getting older..

That should probably be IE4 then. Win95 RTM has IE3 on board.

I got the RTM at the time. Did later versions come with IE4?

My set only has 22. What's on the other ones?

Nope.. I burned a an actual CD last month. Not a DVD, not a BluRay.. a CD. I copied an aging, bit-rotting Harry Potter game for my father in-law. The thing was barely readable, now he has a new CD that'll last him a few more years (and an ISO that I can write again).

Windows 95 came on 22 floppies. I did that whole shuffle again just today. I even perfectly remembered my entire original OEM license key from 1994.

How about this. There's a lowest wage in any organization, right? Let's put that at $1500/month. Nobody in the org gets paid more than 15 times that. $22,500/month should be enough for a CEO. Don't like it? Raise the lower incomes.

My second hand Commodore 64, that I got in 1987, is still in operation and sees at least weekly use. Does that count?
