I do indeed only use 95 to a limited degree. I find it's sometimes most useful to me as a 100 meg configuration utility for NT, since it's "plug and play," and will hence sometimes give compatibility clues that are elusive in NT. I also use it to quickly access and organize a few dos-based utilities, like Drive Image and Partition Magic. I've been meaning to try a few games, but find I spend the all the discretionary computing time I can afford on the net instead. I should note that I deliberately pick hardware and software that's NT friendly, Increasingly, though, this doesn't seem to be forcing me to forgo much. Sorry, F: was NTFS. Indeed, it's too big to be accessed in 95 even as FAT, since it's limited to 2 gigs (tho NT can access a 4 gig FAT partition, with a mammoth 64K cluster size, meaning big space waste.) I use the NT boot manager, though I have had good luck with IBM's boot manager in the past, both when I was using OS/2 and with Partition magic. It can be a nice solution to sticky problems, and is often a bit easier to monkey with than NT's boot.ini.
