Well ... I'm using Win98 on both my computers, and that went pretty smooth overal ... this week however disaster struck! Just by changing some network settings in Control Panel, both computers didn't want to even boot normally anymore ... so I'm back to Dos! Noooo ... just kidding! I somehow managed to get one of them working again, but will have to reinstall windows completely on the other one, and that's not pleasant with all these application settings stored in that d@#$*&rned registry. I'm back to square one so to speak. >There's a lot to be said for multitasking, but this thing is like having a >medicine ball for an operating system.
