Abby Normal Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 That's a lot of hours popping out and inserting next disk. I think I'd go buy a DVD drive. 3 Quote
Eric Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 I asked for an upgrade to Windows 95 for Christmas 1995, and my mom got it for me... And even though we had a CD-ROM drive, she got it on floppy. It came on 26 disks, I believe, and took FOREVER to install. Unfortunately for my mom and her Quickbooks files, I was never happy just to USE a computer, I had to tinker with it. So over the next few years, I did the DOS 6.22 installation (6 floppies) followed by the 26-disk upgrade to 95 roughly a dozen times after screwing up the system so bad I couldn't fix it without formatting the drive. I learned a lot from that tinkering, and my mom learned the importance of regular backups. 8 Quote
