I need Windows 95 to run my Monty Python game! :-)
I suppose now that Windows XP is deprecated it's going to be hard to
find a working Windows 95 system. That has enough memory to run today's
Vim.

When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, Brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave Sir Robin
Petrified of being dead
Soiled his pants then brave Sir Robin
Turned away and fled.
