Did you know Windows 95 didn't just come on CDs? It also came in a pouch of floppy disks!

My win95 lappy didn't have a CD-ROM drive, so agreeing to the license by opening the misshapen pouch it was printed on was the only way I could install it.
@arielmt yes. yes, i did. *softly sobs at the memory*
@arielmt we once installed Office 95 from over 30 floppy disks. the disks would then self-modify so that if you wanted to install from them again, you had to click OK in an "I am sure I am not pirating this software" dialog box for each file copied.
Today, I found out that 987-6543210 is a perfectly valid Windows 95 product key.
