I can only fully backup or sync my PDA under Win95, as IR transfer does not work with it under Win2K. I also have a Canon BJC-80 IR printer that I drag around on long trips from time to time, and I can only print to it under Win95 using IR, it will not work under Win2K, and Canon claims it not compatible with Win2K for IR printing only. Thos are the main reasons. Eventually I will no longer need some of these older programs and will do away with the Win95 partition, and go to a strict Win2K setup.
