That was my point.

Ditto. And I've noticed an improvement in stability over 95. Though the
more powerful hardware probably has something to do with it. My old 95
machine was maxed out and the hard drives filled to overflowing, leaving
less room on the HD for a swap file than the amount of RAM. So I basically
got a whole new box and have been trying to transfer everything on the
fly. Haven't got Linux installed on it yet, though the disks are sitting
here in the gigantic stack of things to do. Most of the stuff I need for
school runs under Windows, anyway, so it's not like I will ever be able to
quit using it as my primary OS.
