Check out the WIN95-L FAQ
WIN95-L is a mailing list devoted to the discussion of Microsoft's Windows95® Operating System. We currently have approximately 3000 subscribers from around the world and generate over 200,000 messages per day. Our list is open to any and all Windows95 users with an Internet email account.

I am the Co-ListOwner of WIN95-L. Nathan Brindle of LSoft Inc. is my counterpart as well as the Listserv maintainer for the site the list is hosted at.

Our list began in May of 1995 soon after the launching of the Windows 95 Preview Program. The Windows95 Preview Program opened up the much-anticipated OS to scrutiny by over 800,000 computer users world wide. WIN95-L grew in popularity very quickly. Before Windows95 was even released most of the problems/questions had been aired and their solutions documented. WIN95-L continues to thrive and generates an almost overwhelming number of messages each and every day. Many find our list an extremely valuable resource for Windows95 related information.

WIN95-L is hosted on PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM by LSoft Inc makers of Listserv software. Appropriately enough the software that maintains WIN95-L is a 32-bit Windows version of Listserv software and is available as shareware.

While thanks for the list's success go first and foremost to the over 3000 members of the list we cannot ignore the contributions of Eric Thomas and Nathan Brindle of LSoft Inc who have devoted their time and resources to WIN95-L without compensation of any kind. Very impressive when you consider the volume of mail generated daily
