Win95 sale started at midnight on the release day. I recall going to a local Fry's Electronics store (out of business now) roaming around and at 12:01 am grabbing a box of the upgrade. I still have the box and its contents. Full version was too expensive for me back then. There was a big pile of Win95 boxes at the entrance of the store. A local TV crew was there interviewing people about the new OS. I came home and upgraded Win 3.1 and by morning I was watching in amazement the screen savers. There was one of an airplane flying around the screen.
