Testing out and getting my PS/2 Model 95, with a Pentium 66! Everything seems to be working well, and it has 64 MB of memory. I installed Windows 95 on it too. #retrocomputing

My Discord client, Discord Messenger, now runs on Windows 98! (And also, 95, but you need extra stuff. Win98SE runs it right out of the box.)
