Please pardon my intrusion but I would like the opportunity to tell you about something which may be of interest to you and help you with your everyday use of your computer. Windows 95 Pain Reliever. It is a book I have published in electronic format. It will help you with practically every question you have about Windows 95. It will help you configure your system to run the way you want, from installing hardware and software, to fixing error messages, fixing system lock-ups, and it is full of tips, tricks, and secrets. I wrote the book for my brother who knows how to turn his computer on and he knows how to use the keyboard and mouse and that is about it. The book was written to be easily read and understood with step by step instructions. It was designed to help the beginner as well as the intermediate. Windows 95 Pain Reliever really lives up to its name and will make life easier with this operating system. And, if you ever have a question about anything in the book, simply send me e-mail and I will do my best to reply with an answer within 24 to 48 hours. Most will be answered the same day by 9:00 p.m. With the book being in electronic format I am able to send the book via e-mail or on a single floppy which can be printed out or read right on the computer. The book is $20 if sent via e-mail or $25 if you would like it on a floppy and mailed to you. For more information about the book or myself, please feel free to send me e-mail or you can visit my web site (http://members.tripod.com/~EarthCom). Be sure to type the web address just as you see it. It is case sensitive. Thank you for your time and have many nice days, Kevin R.

Windows 95 is NOTHING BUT A PAIN, no book will fix it! The best fix for Win95, is FORMAT C: Then file the Win95 install disks or CD, in the garbage!!!!! Finally, install DOS, Win3.11, OS2.

The only real pain reliver for win95 is when you throw the box out the window. Install Linux, or get a Mac. Life is better with these.

How many times we gotta tell you. It is the maximum IQ... Maximum, not
minimum. :)

Linux, or ANYTHING ELSE! . What does 95 stand for, in Windows95? . Is it its percentage chance of crashing? . -- . Mark A The incredible thing is that Windows had 90% of the small-computer operating system market, and Apple the other 10% (roughly). I believe Microsoft decided to chase the 10% by making the new Windows interface look almost like the one Mac users were familiar with. They seem not to have realised that there was a good reason why Windows had 90%! Actually, 95 isn't all bad, but the interface is much harder to use (much less intuitive) and a great many conveniences have disappeared. And then there's NT, which doesn't even have backup facilities other than tape (and even then, the 3rd-party facilities are better than the inherent ones), much less disk defragmentation tools! The mutli-threading actually works , but you need at least 32MB for it to run (only about 10 years ago, hard disks weren't that big). Maybe one day they'll get it right, but I suspect that Java/Web-type facilities will kill them. We can hope!
