I still have my 386 and 486... and rebuilt my DOSbox just last month to keep it going. As Bloodsong says, many old games won't work on the newer machines. DOS is fast and reliable compared to Windows. And some of my favorite software (as well as 10 years worth of art) is on the older machines. I am SO sorry to hear of your loss. Putting down a survivor like that is ahrd to do. Carolly
