   Alright, who’s gonna dare me to install Windows 95 from 22 floppies?

     @polpo DO IT
     the only reason I haven't done it recently is because I misplaced disk #8

     @polpo I did back in the day and it was harrowing. You just keep anticipating that grind grind grind knowing that if a disk is bad your entire system is fucked

     @ExtentOfTheJam @polpo I bought Win95 on release day, and it turned out disk #2 was bad. I had to wait for microsoft to mail me a new one!

     @bruce @polpo yeah!

     but given how I am, that doesn't narrow it down very much

     @foone @polpo
     Is it possible it's still in the floppy drive of an old computer you lost patience with?

     @foone I’m so lucky this set is complete, they were just sitting loose in the front flap of the bag this laptop came in

     @polpo yeah, that's lucky.
     Do you know which version it is? 22 disks is a lot, I think my RTM version was only like 11-13.

     I thought it might be a non-DMF release (I believe there were some OEM versions that were that way) but I can see they say they're DMF on them

     @polpo @MishaVanMollusq I dunno, I think that punk is a little overrated :)
