As you would have known if you had read the part you deleted (and could have deduced from the parenthesized part), this was in reaction to someone who was getting off over the number of apps available (again *present tense*) for Windows 95. I'm damned sorry for all those believing the MS party line over and over again, but apart from some MS Office apps there are none, while there are thousands for OS/2. But as usual, they won't count, 'cause there are no MS SuperBloat(TM) apps among them. BTW, it has been out for *26* days here (3.5 weeks), that leaves FOUR days to comply with the party line of *thousands* of apps within 30 days of release. Should make you stop and think. -- Illya Vaes (iv...@hr.ns.nl) Holland Railconsult BV, Signalling CAD Postbus 2855, 3500 GW Utrecht Tel +31.30.358586, Fax 357208 "Do...or do not, there is no try" - Yoda
