Keith- I think a monopoly will last as long as the need for the
product exists. The DOS monopoly had pretty much established the
major players (Lotus, Word Perfect, Ashton Tate) who all followed
the leader IBM down the OS/2 path and left the door open to Microsoft.
Before that you had Digital Research leading the way with CPM which
IBM/Microsoft quickly took apart.
The same thing is going on now as the faithful are being led down the
Windows path while the Java path is wide open. If you spend a little time at www.quote.com you will see in a space the size of a game boy
screen everything you would want to do with a computer. At least what
I want to do with a computer. What they don't do I can see how to do
and when I stop spending my time posting will do.

Dereks advice on SP3 is fine. I haven't the need to install it
yet but did a SP on NT 3.51 a while back and it was painless.
There are know "issues" with the upgade that are published. Try
www.windows95.com then click on Bugs and Fixes for more information
about them. The site seems to be down now or I'd give you the
exact link.

BTW- This would be a great reference tool
