> By the time W95 was out on the market P5 was the latest and greatest and a 486 was the low budget one. You might want to reconsider those memories.
Maybe the 486 was the low end of what you could buy at the time, but not everyone bought a new computer. My parents upgraded their 386 from Windows 3.1 to 95. It was slow, but usable.
In 3rd year at Uni, in good old '96 I had a P5 with W95 in my dorm room. Granted, not mine, but the friend and colleague who had it was not some rich parents kid, just middle class. We played HOMM2 on it all day long, much to his gf dismay.
