But we did.  Once the WIN98 was removed the was no support for the 
CD-Rom. Yes, Win98.  The laptop wasn't powerful enough to handle 
it.  And, the guy I got it from didn't bother to save a copy of 
Win95 to disk to fall back on.  

The fun part was that the Win guru that helped me needed my help 
with DOS to get it all going again!  I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect 
that he'd never seen the C:\ prompt before.     

I now have a floppy that boots with CD-Rom support.  

Once back on Win95, the laptop performed much better.
