- Guys,
- First of all, I trimmed the newsgroups header so this is not
- posted to so many friggen groups. Secondly, I would have to agree
- with you about Windoze 95 in 8 meg of memory. Hell, it's even damn
- annoying to use on my machine at work, and that has *24 meg* of RAM!!!
- It still swaps and does disk access for no apparent reason at all.
- And typically during that disk access, screen updating/redrawing
- crawls along at a snails pace. What a joke! I would absolutely hate
- to see and be forced to use this so-called OS on a 386.
