First showing on Tuesdays here, Kerasotes turns down the sound, sets the house lights at about 50% and encourages parents with little ones to attend that showing so they can be comfortable dealing with the kids, talking, etc.

    Windows 95, despite all it's many flaws, was a lot of fun.

    No, it made EVERYTHING YOU DO faster and more fun! Before Windows 95, mowing the lawn was SO boring and took SOOOOO long. Now, things are different.
