CDroms were a luxury addon when W95 was released - but every machine had a 3.5

I want to say it was in the ~20 disk range...

There were a lot of really fun things that happened with W95 - a lot of "mischevious" cyberwar...

Like taking image of desktop as background came out with that - so nothing was clickable as a prank.

There were several backdoor utils

There were several prank links to something that seemed serious/work -- but then switched to a really loud voice yelling "IM WATCHING P*RN"

(The backdoor utils were really powerful though, and they remind me of a thing I am doing with Cursor/Claude -- Agent mode access to a fresh windows laptop as admin and having the bot fully config my new windows machine to my specs.
