Youngins.......Jeeez.....my first computer had no hard drive. It used a cassette recorder for a hard drive and had 27k memory. Then I thought I was flying when in thew following year I got a Franklin with 64k memory and still no hard dive. The Franklin ended up with 4 64k modules and I thought it was the bomb! It would crash often from the heat of the extra memory packs. DX2 running 98? I doubt it would run right. Years ago I put 95 in one and very quirky. Not sure of the memory on that one though. My own memory seems to overheat these days

LOL Bandit. I think the Commadore and Franklin were one and the same. Aint it funny how as soon as ya buy a new one, Ya hear of faster and bigger and before ya know it new software only runs on what ya dont have.
I wish I could find the article years ago quoting Bill Gates(of hell) saying computers would never need more than a Gig Hard drive. At that time I had 512M and thought it last for years. Less than a year later I found myself buying a Packard Hell P90 for $1500, And it has never stopped. :?
