- Are you a moron or did your brain just fall out and you forgot to pick it up ?

- I use OS/2, hate Win 95, and tho NT is fine, can't run it on my home computer, and
- I think you should know that there are way more apps for NT than for Win 95, and
- Win 95 apps _are_ NT apps. And NT is not sitting on DOS like Win 95, and it has
- REAL multitasking... perhaps you've heard of this, you might have read about it in
- a OS/2 magazine. Because you certainly haven't experienced it yet if you run Win 95.
