I am living in Grand Forks, *North Dakota*, middle of nowhere. The
computerland in here doesn't know anything about the upgrade kit.
Would you guys please post the address and phone number (1-800 tool free??)
so I can up grade to MS Windows 3.0 without waiting for *4-6 weeks* from
MicroSoft?
Thank you very much in advanced.
