  Hmm... Somehow I don't like the idea of spending 64 Megs of my expensive
memory for the OS alone. I could use that memory for more useful things.

On topic to the original thread :o)  my stinking site
has changed to the one below...  Tweener is still
there, of course.

Back to the windows discussion... ;o)  (in a DOS group)

After reviewing all the above recent posts, they only serve to bolster
my decision to more over to light side of the force, i.e. Linux. I will
sitll keep my old workhorse 486 running 
DOS 6.22 and (sometimes, Win 3.1). Ant to those who may ask, yes I have
worked with Win2000, and, yes, it is the best of the lot, but that
dosn't do anything to ease my dis-ease with Microsoft.

Yeah, I have 256MB now, too.  I'm just saying that it runs real nice with
128.

Where I live, some people have to vegetate for three months with this
much money. My significant other, for example.
