Erinnert sich noch jemand an den Aprilscherz der c't kurz bevor Windows 95 rauskam? Mit 3d Icons ("Tricons") und Werbung in der Taskleiste?
Ich kann dazu im Internet ums verrecken nichts finden, aber es muss doch irgendwen geben, der sich auch daran erinnert!
Boosten wäre nett, danke.

Der Windows-95-Startsound ist nun historisch bedeutsam.
Die US-amerikanische Library of Congress hat den Windows-95-Startsound in ihr National Recording Registry (NRR) aufgenommen. Damit ist der Sound nun Teil einer Liste von Aufnahmen, die „kulturell, historisch oder ästhetisch bedeutsam“ sind. Auch „Volume Alpha“ von Minecraft wurde in das NRR aufgenommen.

I was reading a story today about #theoldnet and how if you leave an “&” symbol at the end of an #email , it means you want the recipient to reply back. Does anyone remember this or still do this today? I don’t recall that being a thing or maybe it was and I didn’t notice. Gonna tag below with adjacent words in hopes of response.

#ThoseAboutToDie an unbelievably dull, turgid brain-fog of a show - on #JeffBozos' #Amazon (not) #Prime - with CGI that looks like it's been rendered on a #Windows95 machine. Angry young men stomping around sawdust festooned stables waffling on about fixing chariot races. The only remotely interesting thing about this #InCel #CircleJerk #RomanEmpirePorn is all of the 20 something male #MAGAts who have rated it highly on the never-loved-a-girl "basement critic" platform called #RottenTomatoes
