Defragging monthly, fixing registry values and hoping windows 98 would fix things this time was all I remember about Win95.

But windows 98 came out about 3 months after I built my own first PC. It was still full of problems, but I eventually ended up ok NT/2000 and things got better. Then I quit windows for good when apple went to Intel.
