Do you use a USB printer? If so do you print direct to it as a USB
device or do you network print to it? There are a large number of
problems using USB and Windows 95. It's basically a pile-o-crap where
running USB is concerned as it was only introduced in the later
distributions of WIn95 (OSR2.0/2.1) and was only a patch-up for about
6 months until Windows 98 came out, which had fairly good (if not a
bit basic) USB support. I use Win98 on my copy of VPC as it's more
stable than 95 and has less networking gremlins. My PC runs Windows
2000 but I'm not stupid enough to try that on my G3 ;).
