Howdy! Wilfred,

I read and post in both Windows echos and like reading or lurking in
both of them.

WINDOWS - I've always thought when I want to find out something about
Windows up to vesion 3.1 to post my message in this one.

WINDOWS95 - To me is for learning about all the Windows versions
Microsoft sold after the release date of WIN95 on August 1995.

I like the mix of information about all the versions of Windows from
WIN95 on.

The WINDOWS echo also now gets messages posted in it about the later
versions of Microsoft Windows and sometimes comments are made about
newer Windows version before they are released too.

I don't mind the WIN95 echo being named WIN95, I read or lurk in many
echos and find out things I never heard of before.
