Gee, I tried installing system 7...it didn't destroy windows/3, but from the
sounds it made, I thought my 3-1/2 drive on my 386sx was hosed....

I didn't know you had to click on the trashcan icon to run PC based applications
tho...

:)


I personally dont care which windowing environment suck's more pondwater than
the other,
However it would be interesting to learn how system 7's interface is better than
windows, or vice-versa.....so that I can be better understand what features to
ask of my vendor..
