:) :) I can't read the above without smile on my face. Of course it is
as good if you take the best features out ot use. Even a bycycle is as
fast as a car if you take  the motor out  from the car  and compete on
the flat ground. Perhaps bycycle is even faster :) :)

But seriously  I  have used HyperDisk  and Windows 3.0 now  for months
without any   difficulties   and would not  use   Windows without Hydk
anymore. 

It's just GREAT. And the registration process was very  fast. I sent a
fax from here in Finland and got the registrated software in one week.
Thanks HyperWare.
