My boss got a new Apple PowerBook and asked me to install Ms-Office on it for him. I think it was about 26 floppies! Of course I got to about disk 22 when I realized that floppy was bad. had to request a new one from Microsoft. When it arrived I started over, several hours of an installation that needed babysitting. No fun. ;-) I still have flashbacks to circa 1995.
