[ct-user] Has anybody used a Dell System with CT?

[Frank Grossman]

Mike,

What kind of "problem" are you referring to?

I know that CT is "happiest" with a straight DOS machine, so I've stayed
with DOS machines in the shack for as long as I could get away with it.  The
problem is that CT is the only program left that needs an old
machine--everything else is being made for Win-95 on 200 MHz and faster
machines so I'm being forced to upgrade.
