Well, Colin. It might surprise you to find out that I actually *dispise*
Win95... I`m just forced to use it by several things, most notably my family
and my job. I just grin and bear it, and make the most of it by using Win95
software instead of DOS.
You see I like DOS (which is one of the reasons that all my programs are for
it) it`s just that with Win95 using DOS apps is a pain. You have DOS prompts
in windows, a command prompt startup and DOS Mode and never just plain
dos... it eats up DOS memory like there`s no tommorrow. I use a Windows Text
editor and a Windows ASCII converter because I use windows, not because I
have a Win95 fetish, just because it`s easier and I`m lazy. I can get my
text editor up with three keypresses... Ctrl+Alt+T to be exact. Now isn`t
that easier than pressing Start >>> Shutdown >>> Restart in MS-DOS mode >>>
type in 'Edit' or whatever >>> when finished type 'Exit' and wait while the
computer reboots into Windoze so I can press WinKey, P, I, N to start free
agent up and post my lovely new pic to the newsgroup.

I`m going to stop now cos I`m getting to worked up and hammering the keys on
my keyboard to oblivion.
