I remember when 95 came out. Couldn't believe he lines outside of retail
stores of people trying to get it. Was living in Kingman, AZ at the time &
couldn't believe it. Myself...kept using DOS 5 or 6.

Actually went to Wal-Mart in Kingman to get some upgrades. Got some 1 MB
sticks for a 386 & found a copy of the red spine edition...since I couldn't
afford the blue spine edition. Held onto that for years & would play with it
through the years...even after working for Gateway & buying one of their
systems on employee purchase. Hated it that I only could afford 1 computer at
the time & for a long time. Now...I have two RPi's...an AMD system I'm using
right now & the ThinkCentre I bought for $50 a couple of weeks ago to run
ArcaOS on with a 1 TB HDD. May even get another stick of memory very cheap.
Things have changed from the old days.
