DgarI found a box of drink coasters in the shape of a save icon!
How cool is that?
Oli@dgar “they’re limited print coasters to celebrate the launch of Win95! They’re all labeled x/25 and I have them all!”
😂

Various versions of MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, and shareware games could be found on my collection. The last thing I bought on floppy disk was Doom II, and it failed out of the box, so I got it on CD, and bought a CD-ROM drive (2x or 4x, can’t remember) All this resulted in a weekend of fighting with a config.sys and autoexec.bat to get a CD-ROM working.
Oh, and IPX networking over terminated coaxial cable. Nightmares.
We didn’t actually play Doom that weekend. And never purchased anything on floppy disk again. My first copy of Windows 95 was on CD. 😁

@dgar I had both Win95 on floppy set *and* eventually CD. Floppy #23 often had read fails which is why we switched… not to mention with the CD you could let it install by itself overnight.
I remember using null modem to play games like Doom. Fun time.
Oh and coax throughout the house but the computers were on diff circuits so there would be a grousing tingling sensation when you touched the termination of the cable!! Fun.
