...I heard from several sources that the software to access MSN is 
included w/ Win 95.  Why wouldn't it be?  Just like the rest of MS's 
stuff...if you're stuck with it, you are going to use it.  I ain't gonna 
use it.  You can use Win 95 with your usual I-net stuff and it comes with 
a FTP and Telnet client...but of course, it is difficult as hell to 
install.  Why....cause they want you to use MSN.
