Hello everyone.  I don't know why everyone is comparing Win95 to the hunk
of poorly-designed crap known as the Mac!

First off, both are crap, don't waste hard earned $$$ on either.

Second, if you want to argue, the Mac sys 7.5 NEVER had preemptive 
multitasking (system allots time).  It has a crap-form where an app
grabs as much time as it wants, and gives it back when it's done.  This
is Win3.1, people!  This is a TASK-SWITCHER.

You want real multitasking?  The mac won't do it.  Get OS/2, UNIX, or
just about anything decent.  Of course, if you want excellence, get an
amiga.

BTW: What caused the confusion about whether system 7.5 has everything
a GOOD machine has is that it has 32-bit addressing and some degree of
plug&play (which is no more real than Micorsoft's, since ALL SCSI
peripherals are P&P, and MS's only works with major brand name parts)
