The dos string85 is included in the zshell zip. I primarily use my
486, but I occationally use the powermac lab (because my teacher
forces me to use some mac software for a class). Don't get me wrong,
I think the macs are nice (and they have a direct ethernet connection
to the internet), but I think windows 95 edges out the mac interface
in terms of power and flexibility. If it was up to me, however, I
think everyone should use the Sparc Ultra 1's. Those things kick some
serious ass.
