From what I hear, I think I will upgrade from 95 to 98 just so I can get some of the add on stuff I have to work.  There is something I keep hearing though and I bet my hunches are right.  That I suckered out for the mass market type system that "everyone" is using when any wise person would have got a Mac in the first place.
