Lots of weight lifting and a strong pair of Kodiak boots. As you build strength, you'll be able to lift the Win95 box and boot it in 3 secs or less.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to buy anything that works with anything BUT Win95 in a little while and you'll have to go back. Congrats, Win95 will rule t the world.

Hay; I pulled it (Windows 95) off my system and as well off 7 other computers for clients and friends. That's 8 people that Gates wont be able to sell more software and soon, support to.
Besides, every piece of software I have.... WORKS. Lots of them don't under 95. So screw that, I stay with what works.

Well, that is true to a point. If enough people refuse to move and simply stop purchasing the newer software in favor of passing the old stuff around (legally or illegally), there will be 3.x software written in volume to capture the market. Granted it may not be Microsoft writing 3.x code.
The reality is that won't happen. As new machines are shipped with '95, for every one pulled off, 10 will stay.
Win95 will not rule the world. There will be another future O/S and it will displace Win95. It in turn will be replaced in time. Win95 will simply pass through our lives for a time destined to be like DOS version 1 in 20 years.

Rule the world? I think not. Maybe you see the world computer market as a PC-led one with its aim towards moron home users, but I don't believe that's the way it is.
You probably think the Pentium Pro is the fastest processor out there, too.
There are other much better OSs out there. But if you like Gates' little cop off, I believe, 89-Mac-Interface, go ahead, we won't stop you.

We've also removed Win95 from about a dozen systems in the last 2 months for a variety of reasons. 10 or so went back to Windows for Workgroups; 1 moved on to Windows NT Workstation.
Oh yes, we also installed one OS/2 server for a vertical application that is talking to an HP-UX system and a whole network of WfWg laptops (which can't run Win95 yet because there are no drivers). Lots of integrators are still playing safe with WfWg 3.11 because Win95 is still full of problems and WE have to support what we install.

So what if WIN95 takes an extra second to boot up! If you read the technical stuff that's around, WIN95 does a lot more preparatory work than Windows 3.x ever did. How often are you booting anyway? I have installed WIN95 and have yet to be forced to reboot by any kind of problem, whereas with Windows 3.x it was quite common. In any new product some parts will be better, some may not be, but it is the overall improvement that counts. If we did not continually update any kind of product once it was invented we would still be with the very first Windows, is that what you want? Nothing is perfect in this life, you have to take the good with the bad and get on with your life.

The faster the card, the faster the boot time. Simple as that. I'm running a Pentium 133 with 32 megs of EDO ram and it boots in just about 20 seconds. - - -Ken

I don't think so. I know of 1 (one) person using it and thats because he has vision problems. It will be a cold day in hell before I buy it.

Sure!
Put SMARTDRV back into your AUTOEXEC.BAT!
Size the DOS and Windows cache sizes appropriately, and Win 95 will start very quickly without sacrificing too much memory.
The reason it's slow is: there's NO disk cache during GUI Startup. Once it has started VCACHE takes over, so you can use a SMALL Windows cache size setting on SMARTDRV and get away with it!

Get Hijaak95 and see what rebooting is all about. Man this thing is buggy.
Well now. I had hoped this whole thing about WIN95 would end a long time ago. But poor pathetic MAC and 3.1* users just wont quit arguing their opinion. The fact is: us 95 users are happy with it. Or else we wouldn't defend it so much. We're not going to say, "Hey, this cool guy thinks WIN95 sux, so should I!" There is one major thing to look at. Why does WIN95 crash so much for them? IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID ASS kids who don't know a thing about the inside of a computer, and run and cry to their mommies when they can't figure out what they are doing wrong! Sure my computer crashes. Thats because I'm always fucking around with shit. And even then it only crashes like twice in a month, which is a lot less than it ever did with 3.1. Now I hear MAC users saying that macs don't crash. Ya know why?!? BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!! If you have a problem. You turn it off, and turn it back on. They just run software and thats it. You cant play any cool games on them (99.9% of games are initially built on the Dos/Windows platform.) and you can't have any fun tweaking them to look the way you want. Poor graphics as well. Now to close: I just want to say that you have no right ripping apart a good product if you don't even know what it does. I rip apart MACs because I use them every day at school (High powered POWER MACs) and i know first-hand they suck. They take at least 3 mins to boot up and just plain suck. So leave Windows95 alone. In Windows95, you can run DOS games as well as 32-bit applications, all from Windows. On a MAC, what do you do with MS-DOS games? In 3.1 you have to exit windows and play, then restart windows when you wanna work. It is not comfortable doing that.
