Happy times??!! Nah... Mark, you forget about no wysiwyg. I still have my old metal 286 (AT&T) with dos 6.whatever, but the kids probably deleted wp 5.1 long ago. Oh, wait... I have the box of 5 1/4 in. floppy install diskettes, what luck! :-P Regards, Ralph (with Etch on this trusty 1999 Dell P-III, also metal case.
