Yeah ;-)

Actually the Desktop in Win95 is a bit limited ... it's not too large, and it 
is hidden behind stuff when you want it. I think I'm going to add a shortcut 
to that in the Start menu. It's supposed to be possible.
I really like those shortcuts in Win95!

Well, I admit my English is above average for a mere foreigner. After all it 
was my working language -- including a lot of writing -- for four years. As a 
matter of fact, I often notice spelling errors made by 'native' writers ]:>
On the other hand, when I _speak_ english you'll notice a severe accent. It 
takes some weeks speaking only english to get it more or less right again.
But translating specific terms back to the original terms is a rather 
difficult job. The original translations into Dutch for Windows and 
WordPerfect items often aren't too good -- and in many cases I wonder whether 
they bother al all. E.g. the Windows term 'Folder' is translated into 'Map'. 
Which is technically correct, but exceedingly -- and excessively -- 
confusing. They should have kept the original term in the Dutch version. 
'Folder' is -- by now -- a good Dutch word of English origin.

Wow! That's a long time. What configuration are you running it on?
