windows 3.11 workgroup
vb3
wordperfect
ms word
powerpoint
pcanywhere
anti virus software

LOL :D

I actually found that funny.

You were describing this really cheap laptop and seemed so excited that it cost so little, then you pop the question of whether it supports Windows 95. :D

The fact that it might not support windows 95 shows how slow that thing is..and why it cost so little..



I don't know if anybody else found it funny, but I did..

I ran Windows 95 on a 486 with 4 megs of ram for a year and a half. No problems at all.

The damn thing booted faster than my 166, too.
