Yeah.....the 3.11 has a lot less overhead and doesn't hide as much from the 
user.  As we've heard in the os-debate echo, it's just a shell....so is 
win95, but 95 is such a big shell it covers up everything.  And when a lockup 
or other problem happens it's hard to tell where it came from.

I'm in the process of trying out OS/2 now (not yet but sooooon!).  I haven't 
had many problems since i switched back to the old 3.11...i would use 
Desqview but my copy got corrupted.
