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
