Re: To Endless Mike (or is that Clueless Mike???)



<<<Hardly, guess which computer I am typing this on, and which 
computer is getting packed up ready to be returned to the store 
because  of some hardware or software failure?  A day after I set 
up my Compaq  Presario, Windoze '95 keeps forcing me to reboot the 
system, then  eventually the computer doesn't even get to Windoze 
95, instead hanging  at the start up screen.  I call up Compaq 
techinal support who try to  help ($35 worth of help charged to my 
credit card, and in the end they  didn't even know what the hell 
was wrong).  >>>

While I understand your frustration, you surely must realize that 
your new computer simply broke down.  Believe it or not, that 
happened to brand-new Apple IIs and happens to Macs, even to this 
day.  The VAST majority of computer failures occur in the first 90 
days of use.  It's called "infant mortality" or something like 
that.

While my first love is still my Apple II's, I have to say that 
Win95 has been a sheer pleasure to use on my 486.  It's nice to be 
able to configure it to look like Finder. <g>
