I never owned a machine with 95 on it. I had home office using in NT 3.5, NT 3.51, and NT 4.0. And I remember 2000.
But somehow 95 slipped by me.

Wow. 95 seemed to be around forever among my clients. I had lots of NT machines for support, plus 95, 98, XP, and 7. I only managed to avoid ME, Vista, and 10 (so far).

As some have indicated, there were a bunch of these (though this was the best IMHO). Here’s a complete list…

If the easter egg in Excel is the Hall of Tortured Souls, do we dare speculate on what Access contains; or is that topic best left alone?

Absolutely, but changing products that one used daily was annoying. plus many of the shortcuts made sense and others did not.
Second, I have a natural disdain for products that have de facto monopolies. They all eventually apply DRM that goes from protecting their products to being a feature that in invasive and sometimes gets in the way, and when it does it is always at the worst possible time.

There are also scans of Important Archived Documents that hold a single image saying ‘this file is empty’. Generally scanned upside down or sideways and impossible to edit. Also, the software in which all this resides has a tendency to crash and lock you out if you log into it wrong.
