I've been watching a new list that has been started on rootsweb.
It's called WINDOW-FOR-DUMMIES
and from what i've seen so far it looks like a good list for any one having problems
with windoze 95 or 98.
the following is the info from the list owner including how to sign up.

I am pleased to announce that a new Mailing List has been started at Rootsweb!
WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES
This List is an outgrowth of two other Lists I manage, VIRUS-DISCUSSION and
EUDORA-MAIL.
Working with those two Lists, it became apparent that many users needed help
with the basics of Windows BEFORE they could really understand how to use the
Eudora email program, or how to use Anti-Virus programs. As it has turned out,
on both the two Lists, the majority of email concerned how to use Windows,
rather than being discussions of the topics of the Lists.
Thus was born WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES.
A note here: For our wonderful subscribers to VIRUS-DISCUSSION and
EUDORA-MAIL, continue to post your email on these Lists when it pertains to the
subjects of the Lists. If your question or reply has to do with Windows in
general, please join the new List and start posting there.
For subscribers to the other Lists I manage, I invite you to join us at
WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES whenever you have ANY question or problem with
Windows. Topics will be wide-ranging and ANY subject will be allowed, as long
as it has to do with "how to" do so-and-so in Windows (or DOS, for that
matter).
There is already a List called COMPUTERS, but most of the time the discussions
are about hardware, and not very much on software, especially Windows. It is
very difficult to discuss hardware without getting into the workings of
Windows, so we felt this new List was necessary.
To subscribe:
Send to: WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES-L-request(a)computers.rootsweb.com
(for the -L, individual message, Mode)
or
Send to: WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES-D-request(a)computers.rootsweb.com
(for the -D, Digest, Mode)
BE SURE TO READ THE WELCOME MESSAGE!!!!! Be sure to SAVE it in your
email
program. If you ever need to know how to unsubscribe, or anything else about
the List, keeping the Welcome Message is very important.
So, welcome aboard. We hope to see lots of you on the List. Remember, ANY
question or problem concerning Windows is welcome.
(We hope very much that discussion of email programs, etc., on the
VIRUS-DISCUSSION List will be moved to this new List.)
Regards,
SgtGeorge
