That's all you have to do people, : just answer "No" But it sounds as if people claiming to be everything : from super hackers to system administrators haven't figured out how to : use that button. Just who is Windows95 aimed at? It's aimed at the people who don't know how to use computers. The ones that want to do wordprocessing on a Pentium, who've been told by the sales staff that this is the minimum requirements, and yes 16Mb IS required just to switch the machine on. In short, people who don't know any better. These are the people who are going to press the yes button, and these are the people who are going to be prosecuted by Microsofts allies when they purchase the database of offenders who just wanted to try out X piece of software a while ago & forgot it was still there because it was trash & they never used it. -- ______________________________________________________________ |Linux the FREE OS that has a Performance/Price ratio that is | |INFINITELY higher than anything sold by Micro$oft! | | | | http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/linux.html | |______________________________________________________________| NOTE:-This is my Opinion and not necessarily the opinion of ANYONE else, especially not my employer!
