I partially agree. I really like the way Windows 7 Aero feels, but that classic look and feel of Windows is a wonderful blend of functional minimalism and nostalgia...

It also really reminds me of the 90s and my first computer, an IBM with a Pentium clocked @ 200Mhz with 64MB of RAM and running Windows 95. I got good use out of that thing.



Aptiva series? My first computer at home was an Aptiva C6E, 133MHz Pentium with 32MB RAM (8MB for video) and Win95. Also had the Mwave card, which was IBM's interesting and novel combination modem/sound card. Got it in 1997 and only got rid of it last year. :P


Actually - yes. It was an Aptiva S. Actually I still have the Joystick and keyboard that came with that computer, they are pretty solid.

I played a lot of MechWarrior 2 and SimCity 2000 on that thing. I was still a kid in the 90's. It kicked around in my house until 2000/2001 when it was finally replaced with a Dell Dimension.
