- I agree. I've been looking to upgrade my computer system for the last 6 months
- and havn't seen any of the PC clones ship without Windows95. They have also
- developed WinG to make graphics programming easier as well as not having to
- worry if the driver you wrote for a device is compatable. All I'm saying is
- like it or not in a couple of years Windows95 will be 90% of the gamming market.
- We can spend all day talking about the benifits of 8-Track tapes and Beta video
- casettes but that's not where the market is.
