Win95? Are there still people using it?

Anyway, migrating to Win7 and OE no longer available. Trying Live Mail but
don't particularly like it so will be using normal Outlook for regular mail
and probably find a dedicated news reader. Too many more important things to
worry about before that. Tax time, election, house renovating, interstate
trip, new front fence and gates to build etc.

Life in retirement, so relaxing.

Probably just me 'cause I can.. on dial-up, maybe just to prove a point
that upgrading windows is futile, mind you I'm into Linux run in ram on the net
too for later firefox and opera browser compatibility on other boxes.

I wrote to Microsoft once, about 2000 IIRC and they gave me a customer number :)
I told them the system I had at the time was so old that I'd use the reflective
surface of their new software CD to signal aircraft if I was lost in the bush.

Only one choice can be made in this state which has seen the local
market destroyed by the mining tax. Get rid of the incompetent people
who are currently in power. When small businesses are dropping $30000 a
month in sales and larger businesses such as Clive Peters have closed
the doors, things are not good.

All we are seeing is rising electricity, water, and registration costs
to cover the ridiculous amounts of wasted money that has been spent.

Corruption is rife with the Master Builders getting assigned contracts
without it going to tender according to a report today. The health
system in Qld is in a shambles with one staff member I know who hasn't
been paid correctly in weeks having $400 taken out of her current pay
because they believe she was overpaid last fortnight. She wasn't paid
for 7 fortnights at all and is still waiting for that money.

Anyone who votes for this mob of fools is an idiot.
