Don't forget VFAT is unstable, if your power goes out, so does your
whole file architecture!!!! (goodbye directories!!!!)
And msn reports piraters to the SPa (it transfers your filenames to
MSN! and then to SPA to see if you pirated (checks registration cards
with companies!!!)
=) DROP win95, get OS/2 (a win95 compat package is coming with the
memory-hog version of Os/2 not the economized one!)
if you don't need a gui, get Linux with, since you may need it,
Xwindows!!
Question, how fast does dosEmu work on linux, faster than the original
dos, or close speed.
