So what kind of an OS would you recommend for me?
I'm a student and I like playing games. With directx, like it or not, Win95 is going to 
have great games. I also have to write some papers for school and make some charts for 
my mom (she's an accountant) so I use Office (Word and Excel). I also like the Internet 
and I find Windows95 much better than Win31 for connecting and surfing the net. It also 
multitasks much better than Win31.

Sure NT is better at multitasking (and lots of other stuff I don't _really_ nead), dos 
is better for games (right now), Linux is better for surfing the net, dunno which OS is 
better for writing school papers and charts (maybe Warp - not), but where else can I get 
that in one OS (without having to multiboot, of course - and learning how to use three 
different OSs)? I'm not saying Win95 is the best there can be but right now, it's the 
best OS for me.
