Pre-emtive multitasking, lots of software, 32-bit apps don't make a great operating system. The thing between your ears make a computer great. No offense but I just don't think windows95 is as good as a mac. Yes, I have used it occassionally at work but I prefer my mac. Not to be a mac loyalist or anything but in my opinion if the OS that you use makes money and has been productive why switch? And in fact, the mac can do most anything that windows95 can do. I only thank myself for getting and sticking with the mac. Its the only computer that I'll ever need. And I don't care if Apple goes out of business by the way. All they really have to do is release copland and they'll be back in business. But that is IF....... -- Virgil Vergara sputnik@aloha.net
