     Right, I will think about upgrading...
     Okay, 95 instead of 96. I think I will do everything I need.
     I know, 64MB is very comfy, I know that...but it is not a matter
     of being comfy or not, it is a matter of being impotent or not.
     Sorry. hahahahha

    Well Pentium 120 existed wat too before that I believe....
    just my SE told me so...
    And that my friend is corrupted cannot be imagined, since from Win
