Someone at work asked if they could bring their computer in from home to get a printer they just bought to work on it, I asked them what they are running on it, I got "Windows 95" little did I know I just turned it on and noticed the processor being a little slow and not much memory.

It started up in record time, im talking like 15 seconds, then SMACK in my face was a blast from the past

WINDOWS 3.11

I was Like, hmm, do HP still release drivers for operating systems that old !!

Chuck it out the window and get an obsolete pentium 200 with a 4 gig HD, windoze 95 on it for about $50.
Then tell him he got a virus, for which there is no cure, and you are sorry, but you got him a replacement. Then charge him the $50.
He'll thank you in the end.
