Hello Bob,
  long time no talk to.  Trust all is well.  I have Win95 on 2 machines.  
One is a 486DX2-66 and the other is a Pentium 100 mhz. laptop.  I find 
that both work well though there is a small amount of disk activity  on 
the 486 every now and then.  But, as far as multi-tasking is concerned I 
don't really have a problem with either machine.  For me anyway, I have 
found that Win95 works very nicely in a multi-tasking environment.  
Though you do need to have enough memory to make it happy so to speak.  
I have 20 meg's. in the desktop and 24 meg's in the laptop.  I have been  
told (I do not know if this is correct or not) that I really need 64 
meg's in the desktop machine for heavy duty multi-tasking.  I am not 
sure about that one, as I seem very happy with the 20 meg's. I already 
have in it.  
I do have a problem that perhaps you can advise me on.  I am using a 
Megahertz V.34 modem and HyperAccess Professional on one of the Win95 
machines.  I dial a board and create a log on script, and then properly 
save it.  When I get out of HyperAccess and then go back again, the 
script I had just created no longer works.  As when I connect again the 
program will hang from a no response error.  As always, thank you for 
any help you can give me here, and as always a pleasure to talk with the 
well informed!  Sorry, I could not resist that plug for you!
