	Someone asked me if I was running Win286 or Win386 with my
	VRAM card.  I am sorry, I should have included that information.
	Oh, well...I am running Win286 with 386^Max.  I have seen the
	ATI Wonder card running on a 10MHz 286 Machine in the 800x600
	mode and it performed just fine.  I have a feeling that it is
	the driver or Win386 doing the dirty deed of slowing things
	down.  It might be interesting if someone with the ATI card work
	run the DEVCAPS program from Petzold's book and we could compare
	that to the VRAM card to see if there were any differences.

>  I recently acquired PC Paintbrush Plus for Windows.  
	On a completely unrelated topic - What do people think of this program.
	I find it to be a very poor paint program and a poor Windows program
	also.  Printing with this program is especially bad. Any comments?

>  COME ON Microsoft.  I need 3.0 NOW! 
	Yea, me too.

>Marshall,    abandoning Windows until 3.0
	Try running Win286 and 386^Max.  It works fine for running just
	Windows programs. Doesn't help you run DOS programs tho.  

Waiting on 3.0. Heck lets wait for 4.0 and 586's.
