Some of the software titles included on this computer were. A lot of people criticize Packard Bell for doing this, but I think one of the things that made Packard Bell computers a Packard Bell was the unique software that came with them. One of the coolest things about these old Packard Bell computers were the ton of software that came packaged with the computer.

To this day, Windows 95 has remained my favorite 'Old School OS'. So this is that new version of Windows known as 'Windows 95' I've been hearing so much about? It took some time for me to get used to the new interface, but pretty soon, I became a Windows 95 fan for life. What's a 'Start Menu' and 'My Computer'? This was also the evening I was introduced to my friend. So when the desktop popped up, I was shocked at the completely revamped interface. Keep in mind that up until this point, the only OS I was familiar with was Windows 3.11 on my aunt's Gateway 2000. It was now time to finally fire this beast up. The above picture is from a Februhome video of my original Packard Bell. Little did I know how much of an affect this computer would have on my life. The computer was all set up, ready to be turned on at any moment. I vividly remember getting up out of bed every 10 minutes or so to watch my dad set the computer up. It was a Packard Bell Legend 822CDTW Multimedia Minitower Computer. That evening, my dad returned home from Best Buy with tons of heavy boxes with the Packard Bell logo plastered all over them.

But I was bedridden with a stomach bug and was stuck in bed watching reruns of The Flintstones on Cartoon Network. I had just turned 6 and I desperately wanted to go with my dad to pick the computer up. I remember that rainy Wednesday he bought it. It was a little pricey, nearly $3,000, but he really liked this one. In early December 1995, my dad finally found the perfect computer. I remember him doing a lot of research on computers, since he had never owned one before. In the fall of 1995, shortly after I started kindergarten, my dad decided it was time we needed our own computer. Look at those graphics! World of Warcraft, eat your heart out. My aunt and I played various computer games such as Sierra's Mixed Up Mother Goose, Freddi Fish, and a Microsoft game known as 'SkiFree' where a monster would randomly eat you as you ski down a mountain.

That screenshot, by the way, was taken on my copy of the 'DOSBox' emulator, a multi-platform DOS emulator I have on my Windows 7 computer. I couldn't get over how you could just press a button on something called a 'mouse', and the computer reacted to the click. At age 5, I was just shocked at how amazing this computer thing was. Was it a machine that would eat me alive? (I seriously did think that). I had heard the term before, but never knew what it was. There was something extremely moving about this thing called a 'computer'. It all started sometime around the summer of 1995 when my aunt introduced me to her Gateway 2000 running MS-DOS 6.22 & Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Ever since I was 5 years old, I have always loved computers.

Also, this will hopefully be the first of an article series known as 'Retroputing', where we will take a look at vintage computing. Gosh, I'll bet it's been a year or more since I last did a Retro Junk article.
