[time-nuts] T-Bolt Mon and Windows 7

[Richard Solomon]

I guess I'll forgo the "pleasures" of WIN7 and stick with my XP Laptop.
Maybe some day it will different.

BTW, I tried a "Beta" version of Lady Heather, when I try to expand to 
full screen,
the program aborts. This is on a 486 Laptop I have. Is there a working 
version somewhere ??

Thanks for all the replies,

73, Dick, W1KSZ
