Hello.

I do hate to be picky, but...

WIN95 IS NOT A MULTITASKING OS!
it CLAIMS to be but it is not.

Use NT, better yet use Linux!
My parents instaled WIN98 beta2 on thier computer, I cant tell but I
kinda doubt its realy multitasking either.
Mabye it is because microsoft realizes that it is the devil, and there
are no exceptions.
