Vintage computing is my main hobby, along with politics. There is nothing like owning the original hardware.

Funny thing is, I don't have a Windows 95 machine. I have a 386 DX-33 running Windows 3.11. The next model up is a K6-2, running Windows 98. My favorite though is my IBM 5160 XT. It runs Windows 1.01 lol.
