Virtual Memory is not the kiss of death to PC's.  Perhaps if we had
grown up with the Mac's awful paging scheme, I could understand of
being leery of it.  But having 20 megs of swap file in todays HD price
market is hardly a major barrier.

But yes, I will give you this- without a swap file, Win95 is useless.
You can operate a Mac without one- and from my experience, you want to
do that whenever possible.
