Belinda -
I'm using a PB Legend right now. Win95 is great, but using your old 16
bit programs is NOT great :-) I find lots of them no longer work right,
despite Microsoft's attempt at making Win95 the "backward compatible
operating system."

To get the most out of your computer, use 32 bit application packages
such as Office 95, get 32 bit upgrades for all of your devices (most are
free on the Web although I can't find a free upgrade to Omnipage Direct,
the OCR that came with my scanner).
Call on me if I can help.
