Kidwithsolder, have you ever used PcAnywhere? For one, it's too slow to actually 'run' (use and run applications like you were at the pc) and it's functionality is limited (you can't do everything that the host pc can do when you are remoted into it - ie. some programs can't be installed). So, yeah the desktop can use the laptop's screen and keyboard, but the laptop cannot replace the desktop's peripherals and 'serve' as the desktop's screen and keyboard and expected to perform like a modern fast pc.

Jgirardi, as far as your second question about hooking up your laptop... the answer is, maybe. To hook up a wireless network, you have to have a wireless router and a wireless NIC for your laptop. Now, that's easy to acquire as all you need to do is buy the hardware and hook it up. The question of working will lie within your laptop. I bought a wireless card that required Win98se or higher. It's possible that any wireless card you can get won't support Win95. You'll just have to do a little research and find that out. If you can find a card that does support Win95, then yes you can hook your laptop up for wireless.
