How about 3 minutes to close some applications (counting > reboot time) once you have lots of popular apps installed?

Well please don't forget that despite your criticism's of win98 (IMHO quite understandable too) you probably have a dual boot setup of linux and win98 as do most people on this list. IMHO you need some 32 bit version of windoze (the 9x series preferably) in order to run dos and windoze games, and for a DJGPP session...for everything else you can use linux, as I do myself. Wine is good but it still barfs with a general protection fault in most of the newer Directx games... Best Wishes, Grendel Hi, I'm a signature virus. plz set me as your signature and help me spread :)
