Are you suggesting that I take my portable computer with me everyehere? For example, I'll sit in a caffee, sipping a glass of coffee, eating a croison and looking for the latest news in my portable (which is connected to the caffee's telephone line, surly). I find it a bit unprobable. The all picture seems to be ruined by the entry of a portable computer to this particular scene (The caffee, I mean). -- Doron Zifrony E-mail: BITNET: zifrony@taurus.bitnet Msc.
