Far from it. I install it every day at work as we have chosen not to move to Windows 95 at this time. Many corporations are doing so. The major concern lies in *Microsoft* not supporting Win 3.x. Corel and Lotus continue to develop for it. Aside from Internet products, MS has all but left Win 3.x behind. Kevin ... Never knock on Death's door. Ring the doorbell and run.

Fine point. It did not work with the drive till you got the update?

Drool!! Do you have to run a normal modem at the same time to send info back to the net?
