By the way, there's an "updated" version of PhotoShop (3.0.1?) from
Adobe you can get to work more natively with Win 95. Costs about $20.

I think you might have misread the warning. The Win 95 PCMCIA
drivers don't have the same power management capabilities as the IBM DOS
drivers do. My 701 hibernates & suspends just fine with the Win 95 PCMCIA
drivers. As for power, if you like, you can always whip up that on-the-fly
BIOS thing in the 701 and tell it to shut off the power to the PCMCIA cards.
At any rate, you can install the Win 95 drivers and see what you
think, then go back to your DOS ones if you like. Just a matter of taste.
