This is the perfect response except for one little thing. You forgot to 
mention the MAC emulator (Executor) which runs MAC programs faster than 
on a MAC, providing you have a Pentium(TM).

Anyone who would considering replacing OS2 or Windows95 with Linux would 
be well advised to supplement them with Linux instead, and get the best of
both worlds.  With the FIPS program (disk splitter), there is no longer a 
good excuse not to try Linux out;) At least not with RAM and HD prices so 
low.  I am still struggling with a 250 meg HD and 8 stretched meg of RAM.

I guess I must be in the absolute minority here, but I have used 
Windows95 since September '95 with Office95 and heaps of other software 
(DEPLHI,VB,Visual C++) and have never copped a GPF.  Like I said, the 
minority I guess...

Thanks for the printing problem replies, problem is now solved.
