Number 8 is wrong. It's GIGABITES, not MEGABITES! (or is that megabytes?)

Top 10 things people thought the "95" in windows 95 stood for:

1. The year it was DUE to ship
2. The number of MHz required for the operating system to run
3. The number of people who will actually PAY for the upgrade
4. The number of calls to tech support before you can get it to run
5. The number of minutes to install
6. The percentage of existing programs that won't run in the new operating system
7. The number of pages in the "EASY INSTALL" version of the manual
8. The number of megabytes of hard-disc space required
9. The percentage of people who will have to upgrade their hardware
10. The number of floppies it will ship on

It is 'Byte', and a couple of them were from another site, and there version was made a few years back. So 95 Meg back then is a bit. All you need to do is think that it is brand new.
