I agree, that OS2/WARP can kick the shit out of Win95.  I tell you
this, there is a still a use for Win95, since OS2/WARP can only run 95%
of Windows programs. You will still need windows to run the other 5%
and you can use the disks to wipe the shit off your asshole when you
get done taking a shit.  Well unless you have the CD-ROM version, then
you have a good frizbee to though around the yard.
