No, you want to know the future? How about Win'95? That is the
future. How about the fact the the Win'95 boot diskette creates a
partition on the HD that the Win'95 install CD-ROM can't recoginize?
How about the fact that I have spent two days on something that
should have taken me two hours? How about the fact that with Win'95
I still have to type things like.... "copy mtmcdai.sys b:"

huh? that is the future that 97% have bought into. lock, stock and
barrel.
