Most 'laptops' are not intended to be used on the lap. ...

It has been conclusively shown that using a laptop on your lap will cause deterioration in the quantity and motility of your little swimmers and can thus render you significantly less fertile (baked balls syndrome). ... Definitely something to be avoided ...although the reduction is insufficient to serve as a reliable contraceptive so don't rely on it for that!!!!!

For future reference: although I've forgotten things about Win95 (and WinXP) that I probably never actually knew, somewhere in your programs - possibly in "Accessories" and/or "System Tools" there should be something called "System Information." If you click it open it should tell you just about everything you need to know about your computer and all it's bits and pieces. It beats putting the machine on a lift to look underneath and up its backside for all the external data plates and labels.
