I wish I had known this in 1995 when my dad purchased a computer for me 
that had windohs 3.11 for workgroups installed, but no original disks and 
no certificate of authenticity. When the hard drive nuked itself 2 years 
later, I had to settle for the (now) spare copies of dos 6.22 windohs 3.1 
my father had lying around as he'd upgraded to windohs 95.

BTW that's the only time I ever got the same windohs installation to last 2 
years. Mainly because of hardware problems and upgrades, but not solely. I 
was proud though that I once got the same WinME installation to last 6 
months before it became unbootable. ;-)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled On-Topicness.
