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.

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.
