	Boy, did HE screw up!  Point of the matter is that installing win95 or
win3.1x is only half the battle.  He's also got to reinstall/restore ALL of
her applications and data files.  Lesson for the wise, if you wanna play,
screw around with your OWN computer, AFTER you've done a complete backup,
never, EVER screw with someone elses system, EVEN if she IS your wife...
