I don't know what you hacked in 95 to get it to work, but the Video
screwes up when using the ET4000/W32 and MPEG drivers for 95, and
EDIT.COM crashes randomly, and even the kid at my school whom is thre
genius behind the control of the freakin' San Jose Unified School
District Network, couldn't get a Logitech mouse to work with 95. Except
with my help, and even that is explainable. My logitech mouse is
connected to COM2, with the drivers set for COM1. What about yours?
When the Mouse and Driver is set for the same port, it says it works
"perfectly" even though the buttons and movement doesn't respond.
And when I set it in the wierd way, It says my mouse is broken, yet I
can use it to click OK and other normall activities.

Your right about 7.1, 7.5.3 is the latest, it eats RAM beyond reason as
if it were a snack. Unless you have a PPC like my school, I ain't going
to use it. Mac emulators for the PC don't do so well. OS/2 had minor
problems with a PCI video card. And Novell holds up my school server,
even with a network virus recently running around, on the server.
NT runs perfectly on my DX4-100 with 12 megs of ram. Try it, it works
great.

assistant: I saw it around here a few weeks ago. Really lame attempt at a trojan.
First, MS said there'd be no Win96 at all. Second, the service pack was
a graphical program. Third, anybody who can use a file viewer, or even
CABView from PowerToys can view if a cab file is real. The pathetic
individual who made the one we had circulating around here had labeled
it as from MS, and labeled to Win96. There was a BMP included that was
the startup logo, but inplace of the 95, it said 96. The 6 was merely the
9 copied upside-down over the 5, probably in PaintBrush. It was a cheap
text mode, monochrome program, that was just one of those batch file
compiler outputs. All it did was delete the boot files, and copy a one
megabyte garbage file over to the root directory to make undeletetion of
the boot files impossible. The Trash file was labeled as WIN96.CAB, yet
you could view the trash nonsense it contained. Pitiful...
Well, in my opinion, yes. The betas are really good looking, coming along
a lot. The version number is even changed, so no more Version 2.3 crapo...

Write your reply.

assistant: You and I and anyone with half a brain knows that, but software corporations
pad thier already inflated figures and claim they are cheated out of 1.5
billion dollars every year. They think that if piracy was somehow prevented
in a foolproof manner, that everyone who presently copies their software will
go out and buy all of that software. They might get a small increase in
revenue, but nowhere near 1.5 billion dollars. People can't afford the
rices,
so they copy. If they can't copy, they go without. If you take $250 per
itle,
at 1,000 illegal copies, they say you cheated them out of $250,000. But since
they don't get $250 from you are me and a few other people, they charge $300
per title to the people who can afford it. Now they get to say we cheated
them out of $300,000. See the magic? Instantly they 'lost' an additional
$50,000 and they get to write that off of their taxes. Over compensation is
a daily occurance in Silicon Valley. Again, you and I realize that these are
the facts, but people in general, like the above imbecile, fall for it all.
And a lot of them are in congress, and the IRS. Lovely life we all live
out-here on the electronic frontier. The Wild-West of the 90's meets the
Sherriff of the 20's, with an IQ in the 10's...

You CAN'T get NT to run on anything less. Meanwhile Win95 runs allright in 4,
is better with 8 though. Win95 on 8megs is faster than NT with 12. I think
you need to check your facts again... =-]

little LAN system. But if your running a 1 comp. setup I recomend OS/2

I have only seen 95 work close to half okay with Pentiums, then after
using Networking, and other built in functions like that, they terminate
their own existance, as if they didn't wanna work anymore.
