A hard disk crash requiring a hard disk reformat would solve all 
your problems...start with a nice totally clean machine again and 
you can forget to reload all those nasty memory/diskspace gobblers
like Windoze, Netscape, Microsoft Outlook Express, Word for Windows
and all the rest of the bloated software jazz with bells and whistles.

Back to good old MS-DOS 6.0 and the MSDOSHELL or similar for all 
your other work. A simple word processor like QEDIT and possibly
a web-browser like LYNX if your ISP does not provide a browser
on line. That's all you need plus some small utilities to do special 
tasks like Unix/DOS file convertors, trailing-space trimmer, 
emailer, resizer.exe and a printer driver proggie. Keep life simple
and backup essential material including your software proggies.

Bye,
