gja, Eric et al:
Greetings and hallucinations from just north of Fantasy Land (Washington,

One more thing. If you are using Win 9x (95 (SHUDDER!), 98, 98SE or Win ME
(is that computing for the first millennium?), go into Safe Mode to change
the resolution to 640x480. For some strange reason only known to Chairman
Bill, this works better with uninstalling drivers.
Peace,
Paul
