I'm still using the first copy of win95 I got. I did a dual install over
win3.1 (which I still have operational), and I can boot up in DOS 6.2
with no windows what so-ever. It's all on a 6 year old 486 and has never
let me down yet after upteen 1000's of hours use - (touch wood). It does
everything I need and reasonably fast, PIC, PCB and Schematics design,
Windows software, even word processing and PDF creation as well as web
access etc etc ad nauseum.

I haven't had a need to jump on the technology band wagon yet, but I
feel that time will be forced on me sooner or later. These new CD
writers aren't too friendly with ol' grandpoppy 486.

It's amazing, I upgraded to a new whiz bang windoze compiler, and the
result was an increase in code size by 200K and the application runs
about 20% slower. There's so many curtains over windows now, it's
getting harder to see the cracks.
