Windows 95 turns 15

This story was written August 25th, 1995. Windows 95 is now 15 years old. I never had Windows 95, 98, 2000 but skipped them all other than XP and Windows 7. Back in 1995 I chose another true 32 bit Operating System. It was called Linux and I got it in spite of Windows 95. I think I made the right decision even though I switched to FreeBSD half a year later. It took only 2 odd years after this feat that I got a System Administration position at an ISP. I don't think I would have been a UNIX sysadmin had I installed windows 95 back in 1995, it was a turning point.
