 HG> Happy New Year,

And the same back to you!  As I write this, it is now roughly 4pm in your part
of the world, and 9:30a in mine.  Hope your 1st day of the new year is great.

I have this day as a time away from work. It is a welcome respite from the
usual hectic pace, responsibilities and duties of retail.

The *plan* was to do same basic computer clean-up: [1]purging email folders of
outdated material (because MS Outlook has trouble working with .pst files that
are 2GB), and [2] popping in some extra ram (that I bought over 6 months ago!)
into a main pc at work.  But.. I decided I'll just veg out today.

And.. what brings you (OS/2 user) into this WIn95-specific echo?   I think
many of the familiar names in the past have moved on (one way or another). 
This echo was a fine hang-out for many things Windows. Much good help and
advice arose.

Who really uses Win3.x/95/98 anymore except for limited things? :(

I was completely happy using OS/2 2.1 and then Warp for my
fidonet/echomail/sysop/bbs purposes in the past (until I had a hdd crash).  I
loved its smooth integration of Win support.

But in reality, the newer OSes (even the linuxes) seem to be much better!

That part of the world looks amazing.  6,700 islands!

Have a good day, and a wonderful year ahead.
