I would call Win 95 a high point also. ?I lived near Toronto at the time and remember the
unfurling of a huge Win 95 banner down one side. ?There were events everywhere. ?MS was
really at their zenith. The excitement around that launch was like nothing since. ?I
believe I got swept up and installed it immediately but shortly after removed it.
?Couldn't get used to the interface. ?Eventually for one reason or another I had to
and did go back to it. ?Wasn't the greatest or most stable OS and was kind of a half
breed at that, but man.. what I wouldn't give to feel the anticipation again, the
difference between it and DOS. ?Nothing released on either PC or Mac has come close.

I have a "Windows '95 = Macintosh '89" pin on my iMac G4, as seen here:
