beltanelor@aol.com (BeltaneLor) posted article <41llj3$nj5@newsbf02.news.aol.com>, 
as a diatribe in capdist.misc, and mumbled about:

->>Just wondering..how many people showed up for CompUSA's and Egghead's
->>"special Win95" night?  Was it worth it?  I like Win95 and all, but
->>staying up until midnight just to go shopping for it...whew....
->
->Count me as a minus 1 in your survey. I use multiple platforms, and I'm
->not about to go racing out at midnight to empty my wallet for some snake
->oil (tested the final version). I hope those who did saved enough $$$ for
->the extra RAM (more than Microsoft suggests) they're going to need to make
->it work right.
->Now Klein's winter Midnight Madness sale......... 

  Plus all the moolah they will need to purchase all the new Win95 apps
to take advantage of the great improvements added to Win 3.1 and DOS!
