At last!
I waited long for the chance to be able to read news for three hours in stead
of the one hour it takes at this moment.

I read the news for about two years now, you know, and I really like those
intelligent discussion about Intel <-> Motorola etc.
Also I like the fact that they are repeated endlessly.

How about C <-> Pascal, Byte swapping <-> non Byte swapping, etc.  :-(

I like RISC processors :-)
