Dear Steve:
My husband Jim, who builds, sets-up & services PC's for private clients
says "Tell him his background rate is set too low -- he needs to set the
rate higher. Tell him I know how to do this in Windows 3.1 but am not
certain how to do it in 95."
Hope that tells you something -- he's the hardware person, not me: I'm a
desktop publisher/graphics designer & fairly good at software questions,
but system questions are out of my league. And tho Jim has installed &
set-up clients with Win 95 for quite some time, we only succumbed to
putting it on our personal systems a few months ago. Personally, I hate
it -- give me back my DOS! Give me back my Windows 3.11!
Good luck.
Marte in the mtns
