	As an aside, I have never been able to get rn to successfully cancel
one of my postings using 'C'.  It claims that I wasn't the author of said
article (this, less than five minutes after posting it).

	Having used Windows 3.0 for about a week, I can say that it's a
terrific-looking program.  It's very consistent internally (in its interface)
and comes with a lot of features and asides not usually provided with an
operating system or user environment.  However, the only way I can see a user
getting any work done by running it on a 33-MHz '386.  Perhaps it was the
time-slicing that was slowing it down (that feature by itself is "way cool",
by the way), but just screen redraw on a VGA monitor took a while on a 20-MHz
'386SX.  I'm going to try out MS Word For Windows on it this week, same
machine; I wonder how it compares to MS Word 5.1 in operation speed...
