RE: Bill Gates Wins, AS/400 Users Loose

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My PC at work is running W95 and the only time it locks up is if someone
shuts down one of our servers with a BANG!  And that is rare, though not
as rare as we'd like it.

I've also had my Laptop at home (running W95) lock up with my dial-up
ISP goes down.  Again it's rare, but not as rare as I'd like.

But, this does not affect entering code, since when you sign back on, it
let's you accept the changes you were making while the disconnect
happened.... that still works!
