Friends fans have found their own footing in life by resonating and laughing with the experiences of the sitcom world’s most well-known clique. It thus comes as no surprise that the internet grieved upon learning about the sudden loss of Matthew Perry on October 28.

In 1995, one year after the beloved series debuted, Microsoft attempted to get the general public interested in computers by enlisting two of television’s hottest stars—Jennifer Aniston and Perry—to spotlight some of the more incredible features of the new Windows 95.

In what has been dubbed the “world’s first cyber sitcom,” the two pay a visit to Bill Gates’ office, where they learn the top 25 features of the operating system.

Perry’s character is amazed by the compelling ability to name files using more than eight characters, for one. Apparently, “this feature alone is worth the price of admission to Windows 95” for many customers, the woman guiding them on the tour tells them.

The pair is also taught how to create a shortcut on a PC. To which, Perry proclaims, “There are no shortcuts in this world; just a very long, long road.”

“Not in Windows,” Aniston rebuts.

Perry wanted to be remembered as someone who helped others in need. While Friends had become a source of comfort and therapy for many, the actor eventually found his calling drawing from his experience with addiction to lift others out of this dark space later in his life.
