This is the second such request to occur on this net in a couple of days and it
worries me. Newsgroups such as this should avoid giving advice about ripped off

Now I am certainly not the one to "cast the first stone"! What you do is your

Anyway, AIAI should be able to afford the peanuts that Turbo costs!
