Len, I have a question regarding Windows and games. Let's suppose I wanted to purchase a graphics-based game designed for those other computers. Am I correct that: 1. Even if I have Code Blue but not Windows there is no way this game will run; 2. If I have Windows and the game is specifically designed for Windows, that the game should run fine; 3. If I have Windows and the game is *not* designed for Windows, that there's no way to tell ahead of time if it will run or not? I do not have a specific game in mind, but my wife can't quite figure out why there's all those games in the stores and they won't run on the Rainbow. Thought I might be able to solve the problem with Windows. (BTW, do you know if there are any games written for Windows?) Also, I understand that even though Microsoft still says that a 286 is the minimum recomended system for Windows, that they also have been recommending a 386 since 3.0 was released. How is the RB version as far as speed on a Turbow? Thanks for your help. — Brent
