The Cat's Out of The Bag! copyright 1995 by *Stanley The twenty pound black and white furry Windows expert! Bob Miller's Stanley Does Windows Dear Stanley, I'm confused. How much memory do I really need for Windows 95? Dear Confused, Microsoft says that you need a 386 DX machine with 4 megs of ram (and some people have been known to use an SX). In reality, such a machine is so slow as to be unbearable. The minimum real system is a 486DX2-66 with 8 megs of ram but 16 megs is better. Dear Stanley, I'm going to be upgrading to Windows 95. Will my copy of WinWord 6.0 still work? Puzzled Dear Puzzled, Yes but WinWord 7.0 either as a stand alone or as part of Office 95, is far better. I’m using it and I love it almost as much as tuna fish. Dear Stanley, I am still using a CP/M machine with 64 KB of ram and I am having difficulty getting programs for it. I see all these new programs for something called Windows 96 or some such. Can I run that on my machine? Old Timer Dear Old (and you are), Not unless you get the add on for CP/M users. This file is available from the international CP/M support board in Ulan Batur, Mongolia. The file is 123,421 MB in size but unlimited downloads are available to first time callers after just filling out the twelve page questionnaire -- in Mongolian, of course. The Board has two of the newest, state of the art modems. One is a 110 baud and the other a blazing 300 baud. The first 200 downloaders will receive a chance to win a fur lined bathtub trimmed with barbed wire and filled with 200 pounds of rancid yak butter. This is also the support board for Turbo Edlin for Windows 95 and all 173 patch files can be obtained here. Good hunting! Purrfectly yours, Stanley Bob Miller really does have a Stanley!
