So we can't run | GNU. That's the long and the short of it, and | political/religious discussions won't have any effect on it. (sigh) | | What I have never understood is why people spend real money on toy | computers when they can play on real ones at work. Buy a terminal | and a modem for home use. +--------------- Sigh. Please look at the Organization: line -- I don't *use* the computer at work for this!!! 2400 baud and sharing limited cycles with many other users playing around on slow old ncoast just doesn't do it. Eh? (The computer at work is currently an Altos 986, and doesn't have a modem. And Minix is faster than it is. [The 386 is at a client's site.]) -- Brandon S.
