I decided to replace the DOS/Win3.1 partition on my office computer and considered Windows95, OS/2, and NT as options; they'll all run my dos wordprocessor and Excel 5.0, but I also wanted whatever I chose to run a web server with files duplicating the ones that are on FreeBSD. NT: workstation version won't run a web server, must get server version. $400+ for workstation, $600+ for server, with academic discount. OS/2: I already own OS/2 Warp but to run web server must have OS/2 Warp Connect; Connect package doesn't come as add-on, so this is $129 or so (again with discount). Win95: I already own this also, but "Plus!" package needed to run web server. $49.95. The winner. Anyway, the Plus! pack has six sheets of great wallpaper, and I love wallpaper. Found a free web server that runs on Win95 somewhere on the web and installed it with minimal pain. Annelise
