My 10 year old brain was blown when I discovered the Buddy Holly music video on the Windows 95 CD. I just couldn't comprehend the idea of a music video being played on a computer. Felt like magic. Such different times.

I was blown away, and my dad (who was the reason I knew Happy Days) thought I was crazy because he had no idea what it was. It didn't just feel like magic, it was magic. A whole music video right there on my Packard Bell.
