What on earth were you thinking Carey?

Are you really trying to tell everyone that if you have a new computer the following will not run on it.
1. Dos
2. Windows 3.1
3. Windows for workgroup
4. Windows 95
5. Windows ME
6. Windows 98
7. Windows NT
8. Windows 2000
9. Windows XP
10. Windows 2003



Carey isn't too far off the mark. Certainly with one of
today's high-speed boxes, MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 and WFWG will
encounter problems, typically runtime errors due to the slow
compilation speeds of their programming. Such issues started
showing up with CPU speeds starting to exceed 1 GHz and were
problematical with 2 GHz and faster CPU's. For Windows 95, 98
and ME, finding appropriate drivers for them to function with
today's peripherals may be a problem. Even with the NT/2000/XP
family, NT driver files that will work with many of today's
parts are practically non-existent. Obsolesence happens pretty
quickly in the computer world.
