That's not the end of it. The new SmartDrive that comes with Windows 3.1 SUCKS! It gave me such a headache because I always got errors when I tried to download files. The Write Cache would mess up the timings that my comm program had. And it's not that my computer is too slow (I have a 486-50). Just turn the SmartDrv write cache off and save yerself a lot of headaches. Believe me. Those stupid people at Microsoft. First, they come up with a runt OS called MS-DOS and keep modifying it so they can trick the consumer into thinking it is actually semi-efficient. (It's not efficient, you just gotta spend the big bucks for a fast computer.) Then, they come out with the ugliest looking flight simulator out there (who like those graphics anyways?). Now, they come out with Windows. Their biggest trimuph. Multi-tasking my butt. AND WHAT?! Bill Gates is the richest executive out there. Life can be so ironic.
