I don't know that I'd go so far as to say that. I ran Windows 95 on a 486/25SX and while slow it certainly wasn't unusable. >In my somewhat jaded opinion, migrating to Win95 won't eliminate a lot >of time and effort trying to get things to work, you'll just have >different tasks to undertake. Agree. From the developer standpoint, Windows 95 suffers from the same "install overload" that Windows 3.1 had; at some point, you may well have to reinstall from scratch just to get rid of the annoying accretions left by installing/uninstalling various software packages. My system at work is currently suffering from a Start menu freeze=up problem - I click on Start, and I get an hourglass. Something I've installed or done has caused this - but I don't know what. If I can't find out, I may have to reinstall Windows 95 from scratch. That obviously makes me very happy. <sarcasm> -- William Harris
