My favorite was installing an IBM PCMCIA token ring card into a =
multimedia laptop. Thing conflicted with the sound card.
We would go into the system under control panel and change it so it =
didn't conflict. Exit the system control panel app and get, reboot for =
changes to take effect.
After reboot, Windows has detected new hardware - IBM Token Ring =
adapter. And it happily set the card right back to the f***ed up =
settings.
Or even better, try installing 2000 fonts into Windows 95...

Aside from the many bugs, here are two of my favorite "FEATURES" of=20
Windows 95...
1. Reboot for changes to take effect ?
NO ! You're a multi-tasking operating system, aren't you !
Just do it ! =20
Stupid piece of college dropout programmer snotty rich unskilled
programmer idiocy !
=20
In other words, "Boy is this annoying."
2. Ever install Win95 on a Novell network with say 500 users ?
Given you have a Netware server named after your company, like
"tires-r-us"...
And then somebody configures their Windows 95 with the same name
AND YOUR WHOLE NETWORK QUITS WORKING ?
That's another good one. =20
