Yes.  I can understand your apprehension.  2D games taking advantage
of your video cards acceleration to deliver smooth, parallax action on
a 486.  3D video hardware support giving you a jump in graphics
performance and quality without spendinf $2000 on a P6 system.  No
fidding with IRQ's or memory managers-put the CD in and go.  Support
for your esoteric sound cards features without having to worry about
if each game works with it, let alone takes advantage of it. Digital
joysticks with low CPU latency and programmable buttons, including
even feedback.

Yep, looks like an awful future for PC Gaming and Windows 95.

This is evident in your knowledge of the market and your faulty
reasoning.  I have to admit, I don't often hear people exclaim that
their lack of resources as a benefit to a discussion. "Yeah, well I
don't read anything!  That's why I think the way I do"- not exactly an
argument in your favour.

People are doing that now to get sub-par performance with Pentiums and
SVGA games.  If anything, 95's hardware independence will reduce
that-I'll glady spend $300 on a Diamond Edge than $1000 a P-90 for a
minimal performance increase.
