Not knowing if this was a serious question, I tried running 8 clocks on 
my Pentium 66 8mb RAM with Windows 95.

At first , they all seemed to be running at the same speed when I was 
running 6 clocks.  I ran 2 more to see what would happen and the last 
two were off by almost a second (as far as I can estimate).  I then 
minimized all the clocks and brought them back up again.  Now, none of 
them were running at the same speed.  Hmm.  I wonder what's up with 
that.

Oh, yeah.  I haven't run into any problems with Win '95, but I also 
haven't been on the computer that much since college started...I did 
however find problems with the beta versions.  Either they cleaned it up 
nicely, or I just haven't had time to test it.  Probably the latter.

P.S.
Anyway, does anyone know how to change the Start button to say something 
else.  I tried Regedit, but couldn't find what I needed to tweek it.
