Is this new?  I just bought MS Windows 2.0 and when I opened up the
packet, Microsoft did not provide any information about getting
support.  I guess that they are finally formally recognising that
they sell software without support!  Anyway, I have a couple of
questions that I would like to ask MS or anyone else who might have an
answer.

1.  Is it really that s....l....o.....w on printing.  Bill Gates claimed
that MS Windows on an AT is as fast as a MAC. Hmmmm.  Well, my 8 mhz. AT
goes away for minutes on end when I print a paint file, or even a write
file.  It's speed is so poor that I would class it as unusable.

2.  I have an LQ-800, I have set it up properly, I believe, according to
the manuals and read.me's, but whenever I select one of the built in LQ
fonts write, write always uses the same screen font to display text
regardless of the actual font, or size of font.  The non-LQ fonts work ok,
but they take forever to print and are not as good looking.  The correct 
fonts are printed, they just don't correspond to what is on the screen.

3.   Is there a way in paint to get rid of the tools display? It occupies
so much of the screen that there is not enough room left to do a decent
drawing, especially if it is set up in printer mode instead of display
mode.

Thx. in advance,  Don
