I believe the upgrade from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 is pretty inexpensive, and brings with it a lot of other benefits--for one thing, much better memory management and many fewer computer crashes. >---------- >From: Greg Story[SMTP:STORY@health-chelan-douglas.wa.gov] >Sent: Monday, February 23, 1998 5:33 PM >To: Washington public health assessment coordinators >Subject: Re: Win 95 and Vista > >Lukens-Bull, Katryne A. wrote: >> >> Dear VISTA users: >> >> This is important for all those lagging behind in technology.
