Tootfinder

I have a slightly older and lower spec Toshiba laptop... maybe I should do that for Windows 95 and reinstall Windows 98 on the ThinkPad 760XL.
The ThinkPad is from mid-1997 and originally came with Windows 95, and has a 166 MHz Pentium; the Toshiba is from mid-1996 and has a 100 MHz Pentium.
Decisions, decisions.

I'd love to show you the end result but Mastodon's quote posting doesn't allow attaching images (Bluesky can do this just fine). Ugh.
End result in reply.

On second thought Internet Explorer 5.5 seems way too new for this laptop—I might reinstall basic Windows 95 again and only add Office '95.
Interesting though that it seems to run fine.

Tried all three variants of it and nada, I think the cpu or storage is bad.
Diagnostics said no hardware problems.
I’ll try booting of USB but need to make a drive for that

What this means is that companies don’t launch new versions of most software today because of anything that users want or need.
The reason they launch new versions is somewhere between profit optimization and sunk cost fallacy about their team of developers.

Honestly his code isn’t even that amazing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/115583672964172193
