Kevin,

  Yep...starting with DOS 3.2, then went to 5.0, 6.0, and 6.22, before
going to Windows 95. Then under DOS, I ran DESQVIEW, QEMM, InterMail,
and InterEcho, with GT Power under dial-up. I then went to Windows 98,
XP, 7, and 10. The ONLY reason I upgraded was for the "security issues".
A friend of mine refers to Windows 10 as "Satan's Little Sex Toy". <G>

  I really liked the way I could select colors with InterMail and
InterEcho, as it made it look more appealing...at least to me. And,
it was interesting every time I ran QEMM to get more memory. Yet,
remember will Bill Gates said in 1980 that "640K of RAM ought to 
be enough for anybody"??

  Unfortunately, Quarterdeck Software (which did QEMM and DESQView)
as well as TeleGraphix (which pioneered RIP Graphics) both went out
of business years ago. And, I saw where PhotoDex, the company that
originally did CompuPic, shut down recently as well. It seems that
all the "good companies and software" are shutting down, and the
crappy ones are staying around.

  A former area Sysop also thought that RIP didn't stand for
"Remote Image Protocol" (I think that's right)...he thought
RIP was what you did to a f@r+. <G>
