                            Through Windows Darkly

But that doesn't mean I can't fill you in on some of what's happened in the
past month. I now have a Windows system at home, only because of a project
I'm working on. The machine was supplied by the client so it's not like I
paid for it.

I did, however, have to install Windows 98 on the system. And incredibly, it
took only four reboots to have a functioning Windows 98 system. I think the
record (amongst friends) is about eighteen reboots to get a Windows system
working. I count myself lucky.

Then I installed one of the software packages I needed, only to find it
needed another package before I could continue.

I did end up at CompUSA [1] to get some of what I needed for the project, but
it wasn't as bad as some people [2] have said it could be.

I'm still trying to get the stuff working though.

It's been only about three weeks or so.
