Jozef - Re: " have the operating system burned into ROM, each component should have it's EPROM with it's drivers and complete plug-and-play information. ("

This will certainly help the Eprom/Flash vendors.

Re: " I don't think Windows 95 is any slower than Windows 3.1. It just needs more memory to get started."

Personally, I run a lot more on my PC than just Windows 95.

In fact, I generally run 3 or 4 applications simultaneously.

As an example, try OmniPage Pro - an OCR program - this brings a 200 MHz Pentium MMX to a screeching halt - even when it is the ONLY program running.

It makes me crave for a DUAL 450 MHz Deschutes machine!
