Hi everyone,

Just found something amusing.

Did you ever feel that there's something wrong with Win 95?

(Well, yes, Win95 was no real 32-Bit real operating system. That's old news, though.)

If you did, have a look at this site.
You won't* regret it.

You can't scare me, I've been helped by Clippy.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

An oldie but a goodie.

I wonder if we'll ever see that Icon Architect game? I can't believe it's only been six years since that was posted.

Real error messages were sometimes nice, confusing, or completely bonkers, a french mag (SVM) used to publish a good selection in every issue.

The last one I got when installing some Ati card in 98

Not exactly Windows 95 (XP), but still just as creepy. No idea what I was trying to close at the time.

This is just MS Windows behavior 😉 Nothing more nothing less 🤣.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

I wish I'd got a shot of one I got last year, just "Couldn't" with the OK button... but I was trying to set something up, was less than impressed at the unhelpful msg and clicked it shut growling. Then 5 mins later it struck me as mildly amusing.
