I most certainly will, the date/time is scheduled, to minimize
user down times. The main worry IS the driver aspect, though,
since I do run a hodge-podge of hardware (cd-rom drives), and
really don't want to use DOS drivers unless no other way. I also
agree with you on your impression re: Win95.. he he he (been
there-done that too). I feel that given the purpose, and the
types of applications I plan on using, that OS/2 id the way to
go. I also may run other things by you, via netmail re setups
etc, later. Hate to have to part with any of the GWE stuff, just
cuz the OS don't like it (win95 doesn't like a LOT of stuff).
