[T] Hi Dave, and thanks very much for all your time and effort on this. ;-) And Bob *is* actually my uncle! > Larger hard drives are fine too... I had a 20Gb in my Lib 50CT.

[T] Brilliant. Thanks again .. Although .. I *think* I would like something as small as the 50CT (or nearly as small) with USB and PCMCIA (CardBus would be nice though) that comes (or has the option on ) 64M RAM and a 4+G drive? What I could then do is sell my 50CT and upgrade to something better (100/110CT)?. The *problem* is all the 50/70 kit I've got that won't be any use on something else? All the best .. T i m Anyone in the UK got a 100/110 for sale ..? ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
