Future Computing Trends - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

21 Feb 1998

What I wonder every so often is considering the examples set by
classic computers, how quickly, efficiently, and stabley could Windows
95 run? I mean, could a C64 or VAX have modern computer features?
BTW, what do you use the Vaxen and so on for?

...

Hummmphf!

I must be real retro then...486DX2/50, 8mb ram, 516mb disk, 1x cdrom,
33.5 modem and no sound capability.

I run Gcadd6, PADS, WP5.0 and 6.0 dos, winders3.1.  Almost a classic
and it does everything I need it to do and adaquately fast.  

BUT... My s100 z80 crate still sees several hours a day as do my  PDP-11s
...
 and the vaxen that always has one up full time.  All
provide useful 
capability and often surprizing speed when compared to the new GUI.
