Ahh, the good old days, loading software from diskettes and hoping one isn't bad. The CD burner was a game changer for software, came out around the same time as windows 95 IIRC and cost around $1000.

I am not a computer guy by any means, so this has me pondering.
Around what time in history would that package of disks have been purchased?
And, was that at the end of floppy disk days? It seems to me that there had to be better options than 3700 separate disks, but this obviously was an option at the time.
