I should maybe add (so that no one gets the wrong idea) that I
still think it was a good investment. Internet connections
are faster and more robust, I'm impressed by the task managing
features and the compression of NTFS volumes (and naturally
the handling of Win16 apps), and there certainly is many good
features I'm not even aware of yet. For a serious developer
probably a must, but I'm not myself one of those who can interpret
memory dumps.
