Hiya Doug,
 DT> I can see your a true OS/2 man.
Indeed...
 DT> I ran Win95 for about six weeks and liked a few things about it.
 DT> One thing it did better than OS/2 was play the big games. DOOM II
 DT> Raptor, DUKE3D...
Nod, that is one good thing about it (perhaps the only one...), what
really put me off it is having to spend a good few hours fixing a couple
of my mates machines that had totally crashed because of Win95. Granted
some of the problems were caused by them doing stupid things like not
shutting Win95 down properly, but in my mind an OS than cant handle a
few incorrect shutdowns or power cuts aint worth anything. Os/2 doesnt
suffer from that (and I think that I have proved that by the amount of
abuse it's had on my system!!!).
 DT> A couple of things I didn't like about Win95 was switching between
 DT> applications was slower. Also, as soon as I loaded Win95, I had a
 DT> couple of programs I use on the bbs that just stopped working. I don't
 DT> like using a mouse that much, and Win95 forces a lot of mouse work.
Nod and aren't the comms routines bloody awful!!
Andy
