Play today's programs on yesterday's hardware and compair. A 486 DX50( or 33- don't remember) with 4MB RAM was probably hot hardware 10 years ago . I still have one in the corner of my room - and much to my surprise it started without problems . Only mouse support has gone. But it seems there is a functional Genius 4 for WfW 3.11 on it - and I can even give ~1 MB for hashtables - hooray . And fortunately I have Chess Tiger 14.1 an absolute top program of today on an overclocked Palm Vx here which I guess should be similar speed ? I'll try some games. pete
