Someone who sums up the entire situation. I remember when reading news was fun and most of all a learning experience. Seems like the quality of people and information here is slipping a great deal. Remember when you didn't need a news reader with a kill file? or nn to sort through the trash and the good stuff. Maybe someday, comp.sys.atari.st will come back around to its intended purpose in life: to discuss the Atari ST computer. In the meantime, I guess we all have to use news readers like nn to get rid of the trash that Bob Rotelle (and others) write. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- John Townsend ames!atari!towns Atari Corporation "I know I need something..
