just watched an intro to a video game pretending to be a windows 95 pc.
the creators clearly understood:
1. that 90s computers often made floppy drive noises while they booted
2. that windows 95 had that famous startup screen with the spinning bar at the bottom
but they did not understand:
3. how these two things were related to each other, in time.
apparently the BIOS checks the floppy drives WHILE windows is booting!
