Consequently, his memory's very poor - the equivalent of about 128 meg of RAM by today's standards! I'm convinced that if you had some sort of forum that's more likely to appreciate the context of the challenges you face with your computing, you'd become less 'thickie' faster, not least because you'd benefit from, and be able to contribute to, its collective wisdom. I'm a bit disappointed with the apparent lack of any follow-up on this. I'll keep an eye out for people who might want to chase it up.
