An early version of this compilation album project was called "How to Count from 95 to 11" in reference to Windows version numbers. This early title was later reused for an episode of ''[[Nyah Has an Abridged Series]]''. "[[No PC Should Be Without It!]]", the skit at the end of the album, expands upon the initial idea by including lyrics teaching how to count from 1.0 to 11, and how "from ''Chicago'' and to ''Memphis'', we are getting lit", a reference to codenames of other unreleased Windows versions. | |||
