New Compaq with WIN95

[Linux Idiot <esoteric@atlnet.com>]

Thought I'd share this with the list.  A friend of mine just bought a
new Compaq Presario and ask me to help him set it up.  Well, once it
boots, you see the IE icon, the IE channels menu bar, and of course it's
using IE as the OS browser rather than the normal windows explorer.  I
suggested he remove IE and use the standard windows explorer.  I told
him I'd download Netscape for him.

I noticed that IE is really slow compared to the windows explorer.  And
before we had the chance to change from IE to the Win. explorer, the
bloody thing locked up, when I tried to move up the directory tree in
IE. That was enough for my friend, we removed IE then and there. 
Curious thing though, when you remove IE, it asks you if you want to
completely remove it or quit using it as the Win explorer.  I selected
the second option, then went back and removed IE.

I will say this, for this guy, who is a perfect novice, there's no way
in the world he could have removed IE without my direction, or doing
some substantial research.  It's just not that easy.  While I was there,
I went ahead and removed MSN as well. :)

NT is secure.... as long as you don't remove the shrink wrap.
