These guys have it right. For the longest time my only computer was a 386x16 with a whopping 4megs of ram and a 50meg HDD. It was too slow running even win 3.10 and then 3.11. If there had been a small, simple, and fairly speedy DOS/WINDOWS/GUI/whatever, it would have been perfect. Also, I know quite a few people who will NOT be able to upgrade for god knows how long, and something like this would be perfect. Now, I am very basic beginning programmer, so can't do anything, but if you guys out there who are pretty good hacks can pull this off, well, you'll be miniature little heroes for long time (sorta like DJ). Well, rambled on enough.
