That was Robin :-) There was also a story that Bill Gates visited Acorn Computers in Cambridge in the early 80s and they asked him if he would like to see their new low cost network called Econet. Apparently he said "What's a network?" :-) He was pretty late into that too. So it would be a mistake to write him off just because he is lagging behind again. But the climate has changed in the last 5 years so its not going to be as easy. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
