as a very newbie with little, if any, confidence in what i download from
the internet being virus free, would certainly feel MUCH happier installing
from a known good set of slightly out-of-date of disks than a set of files
which i had downloaded from the net which may or may not be complete.

at least i would then know that the chance of an abortive install
messing-up my real and needed continuously system would be kept to an
absolute minimum.

any-one out there willing to send me an old copy please?

please reply direct as i no longer subscribe due to volume.

best regards, especially to those with more confidence than i,
