     !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   I love this.  First, it was "We have more applications."  Now, it's "We 
   *WILL* have more applications."  I guess you're admitting there aren't 
   many right now, right?


All wrong! The argument is neither "We have more applications" or
"We will have more applications" but it is

	"You shall not run any future programs unless you use Win95"
	(11th commandment (c) 1996 Mickeysoft)

In a very large and innovative PC market -- the PC gamers -- Win95 simply
sells through the blunt threat that all future games will be Win95 games
only. This is, of course, not true but it works!
