Dear sir/Mdm 
                   I do hope that you are willing to supply information to public enquiries.
My problem is that I wish to get away from Windows95 and NT40 (which I can unfortunately & unwillingly, lock-up or crash with the greatest of ease.) to one system that will run my 2 machines, networked, and their associated hardware & software without the bloat, excess memory demands and never ending  error messages..
 
I have a :       Fujitsu ergo-pro-e  200mhz. pent pro...64meg.
                    No name brand Cyrix 166  clone      ...32meg
