hey microsoft, I'd like to report a bug in your windows 95 installer.
if you install it while having any drive mounted as A: or B: (like a ramdrive or network drive or CD-ROM drive) it'll tell you to remove the floppy disk from the drive, but there are no floppies here

This is a very sad state of offairs. To be fair, there may be some iPhone only apps.
