Dear Thomas,

yes I would have some questions indeed.
At the moment I am not able to buy a Pentium and so I am working again with this
486 2DX-66 with 16 MB Ram. I can't stock up the RAM, as there is no further place for
them. But I think my computer for the moment is fast enough to work with dbaseIV for
my databases and the windows programs. Do you think that the computer is strong
enough for win 95 or is it working much slower.
I can read all the most important things on internet, can see the different websites and articles.
I don't use the computer for playing games. Only for writing, to see some images, for e-mails. eg.
But I think my computer will do this again for a long time and I can wait for building up
the programs and events.
wit best regards
Helmut from Innsbruck

hi;

I specialize in 386s & 486s, DOS and Win 3.1

If you want you can get in touch with me and I will do my best to answer any
questions you have.

Java is a problem with win 3.1  It requires 32 bit operating systems such as
win 95 or linux to work properly.  Dos and win 3.1 are 16 bit.

Hope this helps.  I still use a 386 in my studio for preparing materials
when i am there for when I go home in the evenings.
