I'm in the same boat. My parents use Win'95, and occasionally I'll have
to go over there to fix their system or install software. I also help
out at a friend's computer business every now and again, and of course,
9/10 systems (or more) that come in are Doze based. I've re-installed
all flavours of Doze several dozen times.
I finally threw a FAT partition on my machine for Win'98 (a friend of
mine wanted me to play a game with her that seems to only work under
Doze..) so I do deal with it. Installed it 4 times before it was stable.
{sigh}
I'm just glad I've got OS/2 and Linux to boot back to when I'm done
banging my head on the desk. I love Doze's security - when a browser
locks up running Java, the whole OS goes down. What a great feature!
