Ya' missed the good part. What was halarious and got our entire
gang on the floor was that after too much of the system resources
got tied up (i.e. he was running Word and Excell at the same
time) was that the system kept asking if he wanted to save his
docs as Word quitted. That was all fine and dandy but the one
little hitch was it was _Excell_ that he was issuing the quit
command on!

Thank god there aren't any Win95 apps. As long as they don't produce them,
Win95 will be able to run up to all THREE windows apps before becoming unstable!
But, geezes.. If they MS only found out this problem in March,
and it's been three years they've been working on this, what have
they been smoking?

Bel, the mostly sane..
