- chrisco255 6y agoYeah, I'm fondly remembering spending many hours just waiting for the OS to install, with me having to check back on the computer every so often just to insert disk 7 of 13. But no question it was a historical event when Win95 launched. The right culmination of factors came together in the mid-90s where now everyone needed to own a personal computer. Ink jet printers were becoming decent. Digital cameras went mainstream. CD burning with an MP3 capable stereo receiver meant you could carry 100 songs with you on the go and kids would make bank selling custom mixes for $5-$10 a pop (not everyone had a burner yet, they were expensive at the time). And of course, that whole dot com craze that turned out to be an insignificant bubble...
