Saw this on Twitter today. It reminded me of my OH.

Am I being unreasonable to get irate with people who tell me to download Windows 11?

Me, who already has Windows 95.

I’m not sure what it is you think you are being unreasonable about, unless it’s the fact that you’re still using a 30-year old operating system that was famous for being full of bugs.

In which case, YABVU.

My nephew only recently managed to wean me from windows 7 to windows 10! He is always one to try the latest thing.

I loath change for the sheer sake of it.

I read that as a joke Esspee. I hope I was right as I found it funny.

Also read this as a joke and had a good giggle. Although I would say I was much happier with 95 - than with the present 11 system. I know the modern one is 'better', but I still struggle, sometimes, with things that I used happily with 95!!!!

Of course it is a joke. It never occurred to me that anyone would take it seriously.

Windows 95 was revolutionary, however I miss the fun of msdos

I read it as a joke too - I sometimes wonder if eventually we will get back to Windows 95 or if Windows will be defunct by then.

🤣🤣 I'm glad I read it correctly, Esspee.

I’m still on Windows 7. Every now and then a message pops up to tell me it’s unsupported - usually in the middle of an email I’m typing to my annoyance.
