Surprised? Not me. The more tech-advanced OS, the more memory and system
resources occupied, and the more barriaers and filters that makes
communication with hardware slow. I have both DOS and Win95 installed,
and can startup with either one. (The only reason I bought the shit was
that I needed CorelDRAW! 6, and it have really complicated things a lot.)
