Hi Jeff,

Hhhmmmm... Well, it's possible to run Win95 without too much trouble, but
then one shouldn't mess too much with 'advanced'-settings. Since I'm such a
user who's constantly changing his software-cfg, I couldn't run 95 because of
the MANY hangs it had. That's the main reason why I switched to NT.
JG> If you really had that much trouble, it would be worthwhile

JG> 2) replace the hardware.
The real cause was that 95 didn't allow me to change ANYTHING to my cfg
without hanging. Each time I changed an option it crashed (and I mean EACH
time). There was no hardware failure... at least NT doesn't report any (and
I'm experiencing no trouble under DOS neither).
JG> Since each uses it differently (different drivers, if nothing else),
JG> what works in one OS may not in another...
True, but since NT doesn't give any problems, I'll stick with it for now.
Bye!
