Well, then a story of the opposite. ZA 3.6.2 installed on a Windows 98
(FE) system; uninstalled it the way one usually uninstalls a program...
Control Panel>>Add Remove Software>>> Find ZA>>> Uninstall, and... no
internet access anymore... completely gone! In the ZA FAQ (at
www.zonelabs.com) there is a chapter dealing with this, be sure to have
it local (stored or printed) to refer to, also make sure you have your
OS's installation medium (CD or whatever) handy... you'll probably need
it.

I am quite experienced in matters of the Windows OS, but it took me two
hours to get the darned Internet going again. Thanks ZoneLabs! (Not,
that is!!!). The person to whom this system belongs decided that he
will never ever will have ZA installed on his system...

Waiter, I hope this little "horror story" with a happy ending will
prevent you from falling into the same pitfalls as I did!

And you needed to re-quote (upside-down, yet!) the entire thread-to-date,
three levels deep, to say that?!?

Furrfu!

Usenet Hygeine - Dave Learns All About Top-Posting
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Dave: Oh! Now it makes sense to me. Okay!
No more top-posting for me!

Bob: It's annoying because it reverses the
normal order of conversation. In fact,
many people ignore top-posted articles.

Dave: What's so wrong with that?

Bob: That's posting your response *before*
the article you're quoting.

Dave: People keep bugging me about "top-posting."
What does that mean?
