Let's talk about Internet Explorer, the browser that thought it was the king of the internet. Back in the day, if you used anything else, it was like you were betraying your computer's trust. But Internet Explorer was a master of deception. It promised a world of endless possibilities, but in reality, it was slower than a sloth on sedatives. You'd click on a link, and by the time the page loaded, you could have written a novel, learned a new language, and run a marathon.
And pop-up ads! Internet Explorer was like a pop-up carnival that invaded your screen. You'd close one, and three more would appear. It was the original game of digital whack-a-mole. "Oh, you want to read an article? How about you close these five pop-ups first?"
And remember the excitement of downloading a song on Napster? You'd start the download and go have dinner, hoping that by the time you came back, your favorite '90s jam would be ready. It was like waiting for a letter from a pen pal in the age of snail mail.
So, here's to Windows 95, the operating system that turned us all into tech-savvy comedians, whether we liked it or not!

You guys remember Windows 95? Yeah, that's right, the operating system that had us all feeling like tech wizards. I mean, back then, if you knew how to change the desktop wallpaper, you were basically Bill Gates' right-hand person. It was like, "Look at me, I'm customizing my desktop, I should probably apply for NASA!" But let's talk about that startup sound. That distinctive melody that played when you turned on your computer. It was like the Windows 95 orchestra announcing, "Get ready for the slowest internet connection of your life!"
And what about that maze screensaver? You'd sit there watching it, pretending to be busy at work. It was the original productivity hack. You'd be like, "I'm not slacking off; I'm just making sure my computer doesn't fall asleep on the job."
You know you're a '90s kid when the sound of a dial-up modem brings back fond memories. "Dialing in" used to be our version of "connecting with the universe." Ah, the good old days when patience wasn't just a virtue; it was a survival skill.

Let's talk about the Blue Screen of Death, or as I like to call it, the Blue Screen of Doom. You'd be in the middle of something important, like writing a heartfelt email or, I don't know, playing Minesweeper, and suddenly the screen turns blue, and you're confronted with the Grim Reaper of technology. The Blue Screen of Doom was like Windows 95's way of saying, "Hey, remember that unsaved document you were working on for hours? Well, say goodbye to that masterpiece!" It was the digital equivalent of a magician making your files disappear, and there was no "abracadabra" to bring them back.
And the error messages! They were like cryptic hieroglyphics. "Fatal Exception Error at 0028:C0011E36." I felt like I needed a decoder ring just to understand what went wrong. I'd stare at the screen, hoping the solution was written in invisible ink.
But here's the kicker: the Blue Screen of Doom had the audacity to tell you to contact your system administrator. As if I had a hotline to Bill Gates himself! "Hey, Bill, it's me again. Yeah, your operating system just crashed for the fifth time this week. Any chance we could fix that?

You know you're from the Windows 95 era when you had to be your own tech support. Forget about calling a hotline or chatting with a virtual assistant. No, you were your own IT department, and Google wasn't there to hold your hand. "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" became the mantra of our generation. It was the universal fix for everything. Your computer's slow? Reboot it. Blue Screen of Doom? Reboot it. Feeling existential angst? Well, maybe rebooting won't help with that, but it's worth a shot.
And who could forget the joy of installing software from a CD-ROM? It was like a high-stakes game of "Will this program work, or will it turn my computer into a paperweight?" Installing software back then was a commitment. It was a journey into the unknown, and you had to be brave to click that "Next" button.
