Sorry Bill, that is not what you said.  You originally said that you took off
Windows95 because you did not need it. You said that Windows 3.1 had
everything you wanted.

I apologize Bill, now I find the story confusing.  You said that you had a
problem using the de-installer because of the big disk drive.  I said that
Windows95 handles the big drives nicely and that might be reason enough to
stay on Windows95.  Help me out here Bill, where do you get this to mean what
you paraphrased in the paragraph above?

I did not say that's what you said.

The purpose of my post was to find out why you would spend money and go
through the exercise only to back off for no stated reason.  I am still
waiting to hear what the reason is to which you keep alluding.  That, more
than the de-install story, is more important to me and perhaps other as well
as I have the highest regards for you and Lund. Therefore I am forced to
assume that you discovered a big problem.  Please tell us, it might save
someone, especially me, some trouble down the line.
 
You made a nasty comment about the manual and the Microsoft PLUS disc, help
me out here.

Does that mean you won't be sending me the software?
