And yes it does matter for if he cant asnwer the questions clearly at least he should be able to get the answers for us.

I bought Win95 and was asking technical questions about it and not getting clear answers back. Also, the original posting was *not* addressed to Michael --- he jumped in. > 2) Give Michael a break.

My take is that you must be very bore over there to be responding to a posting a couple weeks old.
