Don't feel bad, I stopped supporting Windows in the filed in 1999.  I 
still have to help the family members, however....

BTW, I used to do a lot of field work in the 80s and 90s way before 
Windows.  I recall setting up classrooms all across New York State with 
PCs, PCXTs, PCATs, PS/2s, etc using DOS of all things.  Then came 
Windows and Novel, etc.  I even had an IBM CSE and Novel CNE for a 
while.
