Thank you for the suggestion, but we would have done that if it was
that simple. Unfortunately when the computer was brand new, Windows
managed to trash the H.D. totally so we got Dell to take it back and
reinstall everything... well not quite everything since they didn't
reinstall a bunch of stuff (including defrag.exe) and refused to give
us the CDROM since, they claimed, Microsoft would make them pay for a
second copy of Win95 if they did so.

Perhaps. We would like to check though.

Sure we can find one. The hard part is getting it legally and
without paying Microsoft again for stuff we already paid for.

Disillusionment (on my Dad's part) with the Wintel cartel.

Plus the need for speed. Yeah! Bigger, better, faster, more! It
rules! (...Rob lapses into a schizophrenic episode in which the
Beavis half of his persona takes over... :)
