Paul, Re: windows upgrade Gee Paul, like you I resisted the win95 upgrade for a long time. I was going to upgrade when it first came out, but when I heard of all the problems I just held off. I use it at work of course, but only did upgrade my home system last week. No choice, it came on my new PII. I think I'll wait on 98 until at least the first bug fix release comes out. Gary

<<Windows 95 generally runs at least a week - or sometimes two - between problems>> And you consider this good? That means anywhere from 26 to 52 times a year you are not productive with your computer. If we assume 1 hr. per event and conservatively $50/hr to fix this costs you and every windows pc user $1,300 to $2,600 a year to maintain your PC. And to think you only paid $95 for this privilege. Another reason for the DOJ to require the OS to be free. Mo
