Ridiculous!  They should be banned from the networks.

I feel really smug  as i updated mine only 4 years ago    If only all other users were so well prepared 
I can say with some pride that nothing gets past my windows 3.1 running bulldog av these days.

Very true Rik    Thinking about it I'm struggling to think what extra software i originally ran on my win95, 16 K,  1.2 Gb beast

Solitaire?

Championship manager.

I wasn't that sophisticated, Sam, I never made it past Pagemaker then.

A man after my own heart Dave. I had bulldog installed on a win 95 machine.  The damn thing used to bark all the time and scare the wits out of me.
