- Strange, I have two DOS games that had to be run from DOS with boot
- disks and tended to freeze at times with 3.1. With win95 I can start
- both from windows and no freezes. Did go from 8 to 16MB of RAM
- though.<g>. 95 is a fine operating system but it does require more
- RAM and hard disk space, but so will a lot of the new 32bit software
- we'll be using in the future. I suppose it boils down to upgrade
- memory or resign yourself to programs of the past.
