before can be writing
letters and reports within 10 minutes of their first contact
with Windows. In
Are you sure? That's remarkable, but I don't believe it for
a minute. :) I'd be impressed if you've seen this demonstrated,
and more impressed if, after writing the letter, they could ever
find it again.
the first time I ever encountered Windows, I loaded it
up started an
application and was going within minutes, having read no doc's, having
compiled no kernel, and having done little else other than
typing the setup
... but you had seen a computer before, right?

It's not difficult to do, since everything ends up in "MyDocuments"
as a
default. Now, with very little effort at all, you CAN, indeed, lose a file.
However, if you use the Find command (assuming you know the name of the file,
or at least an extension), there's some help there. That's better than I did
with the Apple "finder," whatever that is...
Yes, I had, but I'd never seen Windows before, and didn't know it was going
to
load Windows on my machine when I intended simply to install Excel. It worked
fine, though, at least within the limits of himem.sys and smartdrv.sys, both
of which were flawed in that incarnation.
