   Howdy! Wilfred,   
      
   I read and post in both Windows echos and like reading or lurking in   
   both of them.   
      
   WINDOWS - I've always thought when I want to find out something about   
   Windows up to vesion 3.1 to post my message in this one.   
      
   WINDOWS95 - To me is for learning about all the Windows versions   
   Microsoft sold after the release date of WIN95 on August 1995.   
      
   I like the mix of information about all the versions of Windows from   
   WIN95 on.   
      
   The WINDOWS echo also now gets messages posted in it about the later   
   versions of Microsoft Windows and sometimes comments are made about   
   newer Windows version before they are released too.   
      
   I don't mind the WIN95 echo being named WIN95, I read or lurk in many   
   echos and find out things I never heard of before.   
      
   ... Haunted French pancakes give me the crepes.
