If that is your real setup then you shouldn't even be allowed on the
Internet, what the hell is wrong with you, save your money up by not
connecting to the phone line for hours while downloading 80 or so messages
and use it to upgrade to a more worthwhile computer, like a spectrum 128+2A
or Amiga 1200.

You people make me MAD, something new comes along and because it offers
improved features you debunk it saying it is rubbish and crap (The two most
often words used on and about the Internet as it happens).

Why not spend a couple hundred pounds upgrading your computer and getting
the best out of the Internet, its "new" people and well Life in general.

No offense meant by the way.
