It explained it all. -- Dolf Grunbauer As I said, we Swiss are already on the front (I didn't say it, but oh well...) as RED CROSS. What does this dicussion have to do with the AMIGA ? SIMPLE! The less people there are ,the less potential AMIGA USERS there will be (WAHHH!) I wonder if an old C64 would help them ?????? Send AID, but let's put pressure on the government anyhow, telling it we'll brainwash all the people to buy AMIGAS if they don't behave from now on... {This posting is only partly serious. I was hoping people would read it if I made it a bit gruesome...} Oh, and don't stamp USA on the bags, stamp USA & AMIGA on the bags *>;-> Ok Ok... Next time I'll post to something.somewhat.arrgg ... And NO, I won't give my path, SO THERE! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Martin S.
