I reverted back to 3.1 a couple days later. The machine was just too slow. It would be another two years before I could afford something that could run 95. I think I went straight to 98 IIRC.

My computers went from DOS 5 to Windows 98 - never had one with 3.x or 95 (though a friend did).

The jumps were big back then!
