Nobody could tell me why. >Best Bert! That is STRANGE! Here in Quebec (all of Canada too?) as soon as Win 98 showed up, ALL THE Win 95 copies had disappeared (recalled). I phoned about 20 stores in Montreal, cause it would be very cheap to upgrade from Win 3.11 to Win 95. Now, I am stuck with Win 3.11. In fact, I just wanted to buy a 3 Gig hard drive, but I could not format it as 3 Gigs under Win 3.11, but would have to fraction it. So they (the store) told me to get Win 95B, so they would format the drive from another (in store) computer and install Win 95 on it. And then I would just have to plug it inside my computer. But NOOOOOO... Could not find ANY Win 95 CD for sale and Win 98 full version was/is $280! So I am still stuck! Serge Desmarais
