RE: NB Win availability

["Fred Powledge" fredpowledge@xxxxxxxx]

It couldn't be fast save, I think; I turned it off on the first day
I got the program and it's never been on since. Unless, of course,
Micros**t did its sneaky little trick of going into my computer at
night and changing the settings around. This morning I booted up to
find that my screen resolution had changed. I am praying that Judge
Jackson gives them the maximum sentence.
