 From memory, win 95 was not too good apart from basics like running 
applications in its limited way. The main change from version 98 was a 
better graphic environment with less bugs. By the time it came out 
issues such as the internet and security were still little known for 
many. There wasn't much to hack so few people did it. Innocent days...
An old sound card might be recognized by it, but newer ones could 
result in 'drivers not available'.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
