Or do you just like using that buzzword in regards to microsoft? - -- Matt Levine @Home: [email protected] @Work: [email protected] ICQ : 17080004 PGP : http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0D04CF "The Trouble with doing anything right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was." - -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Bill Larson Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 2:52 PM To: Tim Winders Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: win95 and IEAK6.0 However there is no reason other than trying to force people to upgrade to the newest Microsoft OS version to write this browser so that it would not support windows 95 as well. Many of the rural users I deal with have machines barely able to run Windows 95, and forget windows 98. If I tell my users they must upgrade their computers to use my service those users will simply find another internet service.
