RE: win 98 bugs...

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Walden,

it's a 166 with 32m.  Damn thing is that it will READ and WRITE a
PRE-FORMATTED diskette, but just won't format...diskette drive just keeps
dropping ready...damnedest thing I've seen in a while!

I would have gone NT LONG LONG LONG ago but the dolts at Micro Integration
are dragging their butts at making their remote 5250 product NT
compatible...ditto for Chessmaster 5500....:)  IF not for them I'ld be on
NT.
