Northgate has been running a very expensive ad campaign in PC Magazine for several weeks (months?) now. They are trying to impress everyone with the fact that they have created an 'elegant' machine. If your experience is typical, then they have a _very_ strange definition of the word 'elegant' :-) Seriously, I hope you are able to solve your problems, but I would tend to shy away from Northgate after having read about your difficulties. -- Harry | reserved for | something really Internet: hjg@amms4.UUCP (we're working on registering)| clever - any UUCP: {jyacc, qtny, rna, bklyncis}!amms4!hjg | suggestions?
