The best for me is allways that one I can understand ;)
Maybe that way is (now) too difficult for me to learn.
I'll try your suggestions, thanx.
By the way, I've posted this to survpc list, but maybe most of us are on
both. Me because my "fastest" PC is a 486/66, my Notebook a 386sx-20 and
my "new" Notebook is a compaq aero that still doesn't work. sigh, but
win95 is too boaring too slow and not stable.
And Linux is too difficult for an old man.
Thanx for your Help,
Sacha
