NO PLEASE NOT THE PACKARD BELL TORTURE!
I know what you mean about the increase in traffic on the list - Because of
its slow traffic, it is the only list I don't subscribe to as a Digest.
That's what caused me to mistakenly send the wav file to the list. Mr.
Stevenson's post looked like a personal email and I just clicked on reply
to answer - Ben Jemmet sent me an email pointing out my mistake so I
quickly tried to apologize. Not everyone accepted the apology. Oh well I
haven't exchanged flames for a long time so I'll put on my asbestos
underwear and get ready.

No!, No and a third time no!
No mercy here! You will just be forced to spend the next ten years
computing on the "dreaded" Compaq, however since I own one of those blasted
machines myself we'll need to change the punishment to something really
more terrible, a Packard-Bel instead!
BTW, All of this traffic is just going to have-to stop it's getting
to-much like a list and that won't do, gonna need to use digest and then
where will we be without just the monthly reminder/wake-up call being lost
in all of this traffic, never be able to fall asleep again. However does
anyone here still use DrDOS-Opendos-... or am I only one left? What about
IBM's PC-dos 2000? You can still buy it from IBM even in floppy I believe!
Does anyone use it and how does it compare to DrDOS #703? Has it also got
a
bootloader which automatically dectects W95-or 98? Is it more stable with
"no" emm386 errors? Do you know of a "list" for it's users?
Just wondering.
Mark
