Well, id won't be seeing any of my deniros then.  Neither will
any other company that goes to winxx only stuff.  I guess now
I'll have plenty of time to solve all of the games that I've
acquired but haven't had time to play.  (XWING, Tiefighter, Xcom,
Pandora Directive, .....)

Where in any of Blizzard's latest games (for W95) is there any
code which requires hardware acceleration?  Or any W95 specific
things for that matter?  Oh well, WC2 and Dark Portal will give
many many months of gameplay yet.
