Computerless Win95

Found this'n in an old clipping I'd saved from a local paper, and I swear to God it's true. This is from back when Windows 95 first came out.

A local store had received a number of tech-support calls to the extent of, "I just got Windows 95, now what do I do with it?" The response "Open the package and put the CD-ROM in your computer" elicited a reply of, "Computer?"

Apparently these poor schmucks had gotten so swept up by Microsoft's hype and marketing campaign for Windows 95 that they just somehow assumed they NEEDED it, even though (1) they didn't own a computer, and (2) they didn't even know what Windows was.
