^that's "CONGRATULATIONS w95" ... didn't see it at first ;)

90s Apple snark alongside full page ads in the press with lines like "Introducing Windows 95. It lets you use more than eight characters to name your files." "It has a trash can you can open and take things out of again." "It lets you drop files anywhere you want on the desktop." "Imagine that."

But where were they really?

Meanwhile we do remember the giant Windows 95 Start button banner on the CN Tower in Toronto. Marketing. Frenzy.

Don't forget the guy they hired to rappel off the tower while demonstrating it on a laptop. Why not, right?
