Yep. The only reason I have Win95 on my system.

OS/2 will run any DOS or Windows 3.1 game. (Yes, I said any.) And
some guys (programmer/hacker types) are working on a hack that will
let OS/2 run Windows95 stuff too (it already works on Quake and Quake
II and a few others). If anyone is interested, I can give URL's.

Of course, this is way OT, so I will stop now before I get nailed by
GridSec internal affairs... :)
