Well, really just to goof around and familiarize myself with Windows. I find Window 95 more responsive than Win98 but Win98 just works so much better. Everything just works. I've wondered if there is a VPC 3 w/Win 95 built in. It seems to work better when it's built in. VPC 4 w/Win98 built in works pretty good on my G3 466mhz. I find it all interesting; how they were able to emulate a PC. I've always used a Mac and beginning to understand Windows more and more; it takes a while as things are often hidden and not in plain site like on the Mac. But I've decided that Windows ability to copy/paste a whole File for or even a whole Folder and it's contents is a nice feature. Mac's should have adapted it. I find moving folders around and dragging files more cumbersome. You just copy or cut, then go to the folder and paste. Easy! I think the Mac has adapted many of features of Windows which were better: like Sticky menus and contextual menus. I'm not sure the 2 button mouse is necessary. I think it's all an evolution. Everyone just copies off of each other. Apple took ideas from Xerox. MS from Apple an others. Look at OX 10 and how similar it looks to Windows with the way the windows look. lnstead of X and O, it uses beads. It's a race for who's the better marketeer. Apple just didn't know how to market it's product and Windows just caught up. It would be foolish for Apple not to adapt things from Windows that are obviously better and easier. Change is always difficult, particularly if we have an attitude that may not be productive anymore.
