	Ah, which version?

	Mine was actually Windows 3.1. I got it the same time as my PC, so I  
made the jump from a system whose interface was BASIC to a GUI in one  
big switch.

	Think we'll see that anytime soon? I have mixed hopes about WiMax and  
LTE. Current 3G wouldn't be bad, if it didn't cost so much compared to  
DSL and cable internet -- of course, it still has a small footprint in  
North America, so I guess that wouldn't be all that helpful for you,  
would it?
