GOOD NEWS!!!  As recommended, I took my bad Disk #1 to Walden Software
Saturday.  I bought a game so I wouldn't feel guilty about asking for
favors.  When I asked for a favor, the guy said, "It isn't anything illegal
is it?"  I said no, that I needed an new copy of disk #1.  I showed
him my bad disk and gave him a new HD floppy.  He copied his disk to
mine.  No sweat.  Thanks, Walden Software!!!

So now I've spent about 8 hours installing Win 3 on my home and work PCs.
I have almost every application ever published, so setting up the
program manager took forever.  I wish PM would leave the directory where
I left it each time I added another application.

All-in-all, the program is pretty neat.  Major strides have been made.
There's still a lot to do though.  I've promised myself that I'm going
to sit down and read the manual cover to cover.  I'll give Win 3 my best
shot for a few weeks.  Then, I'll decide if I want my users to have it.
I'll let ya'll know what I decide, and why, then.

I sure wish that the offer to upgrade Word 5 to WinWord hadn't expired
before Win 3 came out.  Maybe if I whine long enough, they give me
another chance.

Now, where did I put that manual...
