Note, however, that the "full" version, as opposed to an upgrade version, of Win95 is $209. Linux wins anyway, of course. >system size 20+ megs 100+ megs ??? The MacOS system with all the bells and whistles is about the same as Win95, 100+ megs. Naturally, you can pare it down quite a bit, or if resources are at premium even downgrade to a prior version: my Mac Plus runs quite nicely with a single 800K MacOS system floppy disk and 1 meg of RAM, for instance. The death blow for a MacOS wearable, though, is the fact that you would have to make a wearable out of an existing MacOS computer (for instance by tearing apart a PowerBook) rather than making your own from compact components like you can with Linux. - Edward Keyes
