Well, I can't argue with that.  I do use a lot of 16 bit Windows apps.  And if 
that's all I used I, probably could put off upgrading to Win 95.  However, Win 
95 allows me to use AutoCAD for DOS without having to clean boot, like I 
had to do when I used DOS/Win 3.x (I'm currently using a beta version of Win 
95).  

Some times its not herd mentality, sometimes it's a necessity.
