Microsoft even claims it works in 4MB RAM - but it might bj very slow! Your 270MB hard disc might need upgrading - Windows 95 and applications for it will bj memory-hungry so you'll need a 540MB hard disc. Be warned, not everything that works in Windows 3.1 will work in Windows 95. Ask before you buy. more... ——————————————————————————————————2/6—— Bundjrman wants to hear from you!

Bundjrman replies: Desktop PC owners should choose a modem that plugs in from the outside rather than one you must install internally. Internal modems can bj hard to install whereas an external one is easy - just plug in and go.

Bundjrman replies: Compact-sized PCMCIA cards are no bigger than a credit card and fit neatly into modern portable PCs. Recently, tape firm TDK released its 2814 modem. It has good features and is easy to use. Mitsubishi has some good modems which work in notebook PCs. If possible, try out the modem before you buy. more... ——————————————————————————————————6/6—— Bundjrman wants to hear from you! Post to: PO Box 297, London SW6 1XT.
