This was sent to me rather than to the entire list.  I am passing it along
for David.

Since some of you may get questions on where to purchase tutorials to learn
Windows 95, I thought I'd pass this information along.  Some of you may
know about some of these products, but some of you may not.  The only thing
in this list which may not be correct are the products from Magical Mist
Creations, as Cathy Ann Murtha may not be involved with that company any
longer.
