	Oh, no, it's _much_ faster than Windows 2.1, and is certainly a major
improvement.  I'm far more used to Macs, however, and it simply didn't seem
as fast -- although I didn't do any benchmarks; this was just playing with
it.  I wasn't running Write or Paint or the other programs Windows comes with,
either, I was running some regular DOS programs from the command prompt.

	One thing I did notice was how easy it is to "lose" icons within
windows, at the main window level.
