SH> I'm in the same boat. My parents use Win'95, and occasionally I'll

Kinda hard for me to do that my Dad is 600+ miles from me.  All long distance
tech support.

SH> also help out at a friend's computer business every now and again,

SH> I've re-installed all flavours of Doze several dozen times.

I have not had the displeasure, I know nothing "just an OS/2 user."  I have
little enough hair left as it is.

SH> I finally threw a FAT partition on my machine for Win'98 (a friend
SH> of mine wanted me to play a game with her that seems to only work
SH> under Doze..) so I do deal with it. Installed it 4 times before it
SH> was stable. {sigh}

I would not want to give my self the headache.

SH> I'm just glad I've got OS/2 and Linux to boot back to when I'm done
SH> banging my head on the desk. I love Doze's security - when a browser
SH> locks up running Java, the whole OS goes down. What a great feature!

Am building a linux box as we speak.  Monitor, PS2 mouse and RH5.2 or 6
needed, all else is in place.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
