Description

A demo for Windows 95 and 98 by Static Society, first shown at Pineworth Party in 1996.

Provenance

Rescued from a skip outside a former office in Wolfdale. The dye layer had begun to fail at the outer edge; the last sectors came from a second read in a different drive. The image matches a checksum published by the original distributor.
