I remember the explanation, I just wasn't sure at what particular
version the jump was made.

The thing about the new installer interface that just leaped out of my
computer right into my lap is that USA Pacific Time Zone isn't in
alphabetical order any more. Or either that or PV fixed "page down." ;-)

After I posted, I thought of an incident that shows how little I pay
attention to Microsoft.

A couple of years ago, someone posted a message titlted "WIN ME"
in the local buy and sell newsgroup. I opened it, to see what was
being offered, and to see how I could win it. Imagine my disappointment
when it turns out to be someone selling "Windows Millenium".
