I want to thank those who took the trouble to write me about my
recent posting.  I learned two things: that some Win3 users are
*dedicated* types and don't like to have their favorite program
maligned; and, two, that Win3 is being marketed through false and
misleading advertising.  For, indeed, the "standard" mode does
not support multi-tasking for any but Windows applications,
something one discovers only after reading the manual.  Nowhere
in the glitzy ads, or indeed in most of the unpaid hype, is there
a hint that one will have to scrap several thousand dollars worth
of software.

Well.  Does one expect more from Microsoft?
