All the fuss of 32-bits, I had enough of Win95. It was not running any 
faster,even with 16M Ram and on Pentium-120. In fact,I think it's 
remarkedly slower than Win3.11 for the same hardware configuration. 

The programme is overloaded with large number of interface files and 
memory hungary design at the expense of integration. Even Formula I will 
slow down. I had uninstalled Win 95 & MSN and switched to Win3.11 
Netscape 2.02, after 6 months.

To my surprise, Netscape is running much faster than in MSN in Win95, and 
not to mention running all other standard programmes. The old lovely 3.11 
is still the best for me.
