Do *YOU* know where the Borg are?
20-Dec-97 10:24:06, Vincent Fang communicated something.
(S)he was talking about: OFFICE & WINDOWS
The latest version of Microsoft Windows is 4.95.1243. This is Win95, OSR2
ith
USB support (aka Win95B/USB). Microsoft is being sued for Win95A. Not the
mythical Win95C you are talking about.

Gee, I don't know.. I mean, I just received version 5.0 in the mail, and it
came in a nice box with the RedHat symbol on it..
Now, let's see.. I bought it, that's makes it retail. And it came in a box
with Docs, and install disks, so I guess that would make it the 'newest
retail boxed version'.. Unless I'm missing something there..
I just checked again, and Redhat linux is definitely at 5.0 .. However,
Applixware which is another product of theirs is at 4.3.7 so perhaps that is
where the confusion is..
Have a good day!!

assistant: Neither you or I are the moderator for this echo, Paul Casey is. I haven't
seen him tell users they can't question a seller about the product you claim
to offer. Furthermore, I think Dick Walsh has done everyone here a good
service by tracking down the fact there is no Win95C THAT YOU WERE OFFERING
FOR SALE.
You have refused to clarify your post when asked to and even when given
additional information. That shows intent. Do you understand the concept of
mail fraud? This can be delivered to US postal authorities or the state
attorney general where you live.  No reply needed.
