You know, Jeff, some people just don't know how to get the best out of their computers. And of course, this is a problem we at FBN are doing our very best to address. Please DO stress this to potential investors, or refer them to me. Thanks, and why not come on up here when you've finished? I've got CRATES of champagne on ice! Janice

Hey, I tried that re-formating suggestion and now all I get are a bunch of squiggly lines after the DOS prompt followed by the message: <Critcal OS error, take two aspirin and contact Bill Gates in the morning>! What do I do about the monthly payroll that was supposed to go out on Friday?

<<If the FBN links don't work, I suggest a complete reformat of one's hard drive, followed by a scandisk, followed by a manual install of Windows 95, followed by a file by file data restore. Better safe than sorry! >> Surely if the link doesn't work (it works for me) the only solution is to go out and buy a new computer (anything That says NO INTEL INSIDE) then get WIN 95 the early editon (on 1.2 - of course - again being safe) and install all 15 disks. Then find the DOS box and type FORMAT. And reinstall the OS again. This way you won't have to worry about catching anything from the Net or Bad programmers. I pity those who would not follow this advise and possibly missout on the the opportunity like FBN - the best thing that happened to y2k since the time quake!
