        Can you network to "old" Windows for Workgroups?  (i.e., if I put
Win '95 on one machine and not the other, can they still talk to each
other?)

        I have a desktop PC and a Macintosh networked together via 10Base-T
(I also have a 3Com card in my 'Pad).  It runs Windows for Workgroups and
to connect the Mac, something called "MacLan Connect" (which basically
makes Windows speak Appletalk for the Mac's built-in networking).  Between
that and some Windows drivers that speak to a hardware card that
communicates with my LaserJet 4 to produce 1200 dpi printing, I'm rather
reticent about upgrading to Win '95.  I don't know if these things will get
along with the new Windows.

        I have 12 MB RAM on my 750C--enough, you think?
