I'm very pleased I'm not the only one... Using Windoze sure gives the
computer plenty of exercise... The hard disc, with all it's constant
thrashing about swapping this and that... and the floppy drive, with the
constant reloading of the software! :-~

Question? Why have so many topics in this newsgroup got PC connections? Has
Mr Gates infiltrated the heart of us true blue Acorn stalwarts?

Happy New Year... oh, was that a fortnight ago... I must end this drinking
session soon... oh, maybe just the one more drink... hic! 8-}
