- That's what MS said about DOS a few years ago. Plenty of people still
- running DOS apps. As long as Win95 (and NT) support 16-bit apps, you
- will see new 16-bit apps appearing (granted, less of them). It might
- bear pointing out that 16-bit apps eat less memory and are a lot less
- bloated than most 32-bit apps. This can actually allow you to
- smoothly multitask MORE stuff at once, since the swap file won't be
- getting hit as often.
-
- P.S... there are still a lot of people running 8-bit commodore 64's,
- believe it or not. The software industry wants you to believe that if
- you don't continually upgrade, you 'll get left behind. That's how
- they make their money, of course. Don't believe the hype!
