But it still does what it does as well as it ever did. I have no idea 
what "Solidworks" is. Don't play MP3's or movies on my computer very 
often. Have dedicated tools for that. Wordpad will do whatever I need 
done in Office, which I don't use much anyway. I could probably find an 
old Netscape Navigator around here somewhere to add web browsing. *<]:oD

DOS 6.2/Win3.1 is very handy to have around in some circumstances. Like 
when we have to program a radio to new frequencies most of the software 
won't run in Windows of any version and the computer _HAS_ to be slow 
speed. 486DX2 is just about right for most radios. Most pentiums are to 
fast.
