It's been working great for me (in test versions) since May. Because WINDOWS 95 seems to be of almost universal interest, I'm posting to a wide variety of computer users. Take the advice of someone at a lonely computer terminal who's been around the block a few times. [E-mail helpme-95@zoom.com for even more info.] >>>>>Into scifi? Take a look four paragraphs down! I'm tired. I wanted it easier. WINDOWS 95 has made it that way. No, the four horsemen didn't make an appearance when I started using WINDOWS 95, and it wasn't as important as a Beatles reunion or a Pearl Jam up-close-and-personal visit or winning a marathon (or the lottery). I haven't yet felt the aura of Bill Gates floating about my monitor. (I didn't notice a halo around his head, anyway.) WINDOWS 95 does have lots of advantages, though. And it is important that you make the best possible use of WINDOWS 95 should you decide to fork over your hard- earned bucks to get the second coming of WINDOWS. I have an informative and fun newsletter about the new stuff--and thought you might like to see it. Free, of course. I'm cheap, too! Forgive me, I mean FRUGAL! E-mail me at helpme-95@zoom.com for the newsletter, and I will be most happy to rush it back to you. From one computer user to another--we all try to do this better and faster whether it's our livelihood or our hobby. Try me! C'mon, people, lighten up. It's WINDOWS 95... Have fun!!! %#%#%%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% AND NOW, FOR THE SCI-FI DREAM SEQUENCE (Just couldn't resist getting this thing published somewhere!) %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% "The truth is out there." Moldier sighed as he looked up to the stars in the dark night sky. "Yeah, sure," replied Scuzzy, "you keep sayin' that but we never go anywhere except those dark buildings where we get to use our flashlights." "Trust me." "Yeah, sure--like I trusted you with my car and you got it all banged up and then left me in the clutches of that alien? I don't trust nobody no more." Moldier begged, "Ah, come on, please let me drive just once more? I promise no more aliens for this week." Scuzzy mumbled under her breath something about red shoes and diaries and handed him the keys. At that moment, the sky above them came alive with lights flashing and weird soundss. "What the @#%?><&???", yelled Moldier as he dove to the ground, grabbing Scuzzy. It was huge and white and was disc shaped with two side rockets. It tried to strafe them with bolts of energy, but luckily missed them. The car, however, got a toasted paint job and the tires melted. Meanwhile, above in the spacecraft, a strange being with pointed ears and his friend were arguing. "Look at that--you MISSED them! I can't believe this!" The friend was having trouble. "I don't know what it is-- I know I programmed this scenario okay." "The pointy- eared fellow laughed and said, "You don't have that new program from Microsoft, do you? How many times did I tell you that it'll make your calculations easier and more accurate? But would you listen to me? Noooooooo!" Church turned around to take a swipe at Speck, but Speck was too fast for him and did a tuck-and- roll out of they way. Church turned again to his computer screen, but Speck stopped him. "Let's try this on my computer," he said. Church gave in grudgingly and Speck set up the run. Down below, Scuzzy and Moldier were zig-zagging through the field, trying to evade the alien ship. I'll get you for this, Moldier," panted Scuzzy, as she dodged another energy bolt. Moldier was too busy to reply, since he was sprinting faster than an Olympic- class runner. Seconds later, after a particularly nasty surge of energy, all that lay in the field were two piles of ash and some melted rubber. "Got em!", yelled Speck. "I told you that program was easier to set up!" Church stood by and glumly replied, "Yeah, but I bet I can beat you the next system we're in. Let's go someplace we've never been before." Speck turned to Church and asked, "Boldly, sir?" "But of course", laughed Church. As the ship turned and soared away, the two friends looked out the window up at the stars in the dark night sky. %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%# For a good time, e-mail me for my newsletter at: helpme-95@zoom.com.
