- Bill is right, at least for now. About 2 weeks ago, I'm still reading
- about people complaining about Copland not suppot PPC upgrade cards. But

- I was reading a 12 month old magazine the other day, claiming they might
- sell a version of Windows 95 specifically for Pentiums. Eight months
- later, do people realize that Windows 95 does runs much faster on a
- Pentium than 486? As far as I know, a Pentium running twice as fast as a
- 486 in DOS/Win 3.1 runs about three times as fast when in Win 95.
