I downloaded the ascii version in order to read it in my own time and not in the time of the telephone company and after 50% of the text I stopped in order to do something nicer. It gives you the creeps, this reading stuff and I will read the rest after some nice distractions and if I feel better again ;-). I am happy with my DrDos 7.3, Nettamer and Arachne for my daily use. For some things which would force me to use W.. I moved to Linux (SuSe) and I hope to stay in these two OS for a long time. I even converted my daughter from W.98 to Linux. The KDE Gui was just as she knew it from the other OS that she had no problems at all. -- NTReader v0.35w(P)/Beta (Registered) in conjunction with Net-Tamer. ******************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the single word Unsubscribe as the subject.
