Microsoft keeps putting stuff on to slow it down, so you'll buy
a newer, faster computer.
Remember all the rush when Windows 95 first came out??
So many found out the truth of "being guinea pig beta testers" for the operating system (I wasn't one of them, thankfully). <G>
I got a almost new pc with 95 on it, cheap. Well, actually free.
The case was damaged in an accident but the innards still worked just fine. The business just tossed it and I was standing by the dumpster catching it.
That replaced my 286 I brought used, which replaced my Commie.
When Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock was discarding all their old computer hardware, a friend of my brother's (I didn't know him at the time) got an 8088 XT, with 640K of RAM, a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy
That replaced my 286 I brought used, which replaced my Commie.
Was that a computer from Russia?? <G>
