Bob W: http://www.web-options.com/nerdkrieg.tif Oh thank you ever so much! I have long wanted to see that particluar strip. As you might know, it is featured in "In The Beginning Was The Command Line", the excellent eassay on computer culture by Neal Stephenson. The essay is available in many places on the net, for example here: http://www.spack.org/index.cgi/InTheBeginningWasTheCommandLine anders - http://anders.hultman.nu/

Bill, There is nothing wrong with the PC interface...lets not have a PC war Version 8.0 is fine, as Cotty said, certainly 7 and 8 run ok with two disks. In version 8.0 make sure that the level of detail is set to low in the browser. You should run with 512Mb as a minimum for reasonable performance. HTH Regards, Ziggy -Original Message- From: Bill D.
