Well, in my defense, the last time I ran it was on a 150mhz cyrix 686 
box, and that was W95.  It was also a decade back up the log, and at 
the time I was trying to dl a patch for an NT-3.51 machine that had a 
habit of deleting one file a week at random & the last auto delete 
had been a dll thats part of 3.51, but which was not on the cd image 
furnished.  M$, when I called the help line, was quite belligerant 
about it and called me a pirate over the phone, absolutely refusing 
to allow me access to the file for download regardless of how many 
seriel numbers I had.  I did get the file from another src and 
restored that machine to blue screen another day.

That little bit of M$ anal activity soured me on M$ forever, and to 
this day there is very little M$ in this house, all windows are 
genuine glass.  Even my copy of dos is DRDOS.
