Windows 95 users may be shocked to learn that, Yes, Virginia, there is a System Crash. It's not too difficult to cause one, either, as one BYTE editor discovere d when attempting to dial up the Microsoft Network using Internet Explorer 2.0.
The bug shown in the screen shot occurs at odd times under Win 95 with the Plus pack when the editor is attached to the BYTE LAN or attempts to dial the Microsoft Network access number in Nashua, New Hampshire.
