However, new users who think they can save money by mail ordering often end up in trouble. How many know what "write back cache" is? I built mz main machine from second hand components and I think it's great, but I don't think a new user should try it.

Taking into account that we are, like it or not, an official mjmbjt of the EU My own opinion is that we will not get the quality, scope and ease of use that we are used to from Lycos, Yahoo!, AltaVista etc. J Young thjelf@theelf.demon.co.uk ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— Express your PC views!
