Sorry, I despise Win95 so much that I don't even consider it in my ramblings. Almost all my refereces are to win 3.0 and 3.1. I've installed over 150 systems with 3.1 (standalone machines) and it is quite simple once you understand it (which the average person is capable of - especially with all the books available). Hell, I just set up a 70 year old retired guy and his wife with 3.1 and all I have to do is say (over the phone) just click here, then here and type this. TRY THIS WITH X! Inside of one week he is producing letters setting up databases and connecting to the web. If I handed him a FreeBSD (or any other free Unix) CD he shoot his machine inside of that week and go off to Tahiti to sun on the beach. No Software is easy to a newbie - it's just that Billy boy promises shit and at least delivers half a sack. On Tue, 21 Jan 1997, Wes Peters wrote: > You must be.
