Some Kind of Record (Inbox)

Well, here you have it folks… Microsoft has finally pulled the plug on
anyone who still has the audacity to be running Windows 95. They no longer
offer updates for “MY COMPUTER”. Not my Operating System - “My Computer”! I guess they have determined that I should now replace this paperweight with
a brand new machine so that I can have the privilege of purchasing their
latest OS. I will be doing this soon anyway, but sheesh! This machine (PII,
266MHz), has served me well over the last four years. I have been running
Windows 95 'C' and have it tweaked and personalized just the way I want it.
In fact it has been up and running every day since April 05, 1999 and has
been through a lot of intensive and grueling experiences. Shareware,
trialware, betaware, MS Office (two major versions), StarOffice, Paint Shop
Pro and many other major software applications including every upgrade of IE
till v5.5 SP-2. It is still quick and very responsive in spite of the
constant installing/uninstalling. Two 6.4 GB hard drives presently have
about 3 GB total free space. I wonder if this is some kind of record -
almost three years without having to format - reinstall. [John Paré]
