Sometimes someone (in this case Bill Gates) is sent into our lives to
teach us patience...

I upgraded my W95 to W98: AOK (faster shut downs and a few other minor
advantages) then tried to download the latest Netscape 4.0 whatever...

Then it all happened. Got fatal error type messages every few minutes,
computer wouldn't talk to printer, Netscape wouldn't retain my
subscribed newsgroups, tried a defrag and the whole thing collapsed in
the middle of it.

Now a whole day and the help of two techos and many dollars later, I'm
still trying to get back to where I was... Just as well it's holidays.

I now subscribe to the common compliment 'Bill Gates is more committed
to success than excellence' ... My computer shop-guy told me they'd sold

just 12 Windows 98 upload CDs __and had problems with them all and now
refuse to sell 'em__...

Aaaargh...
