Well Peter, most people (like myself), don't like leaving their computer
equipment on over-night and while they are out. I've even seen in (I think
it was AW) of a monitor exploding because it had been left on too long!

Any which manual? The A3010 user guide, the Risc Os 3 user guide, the
PRMs, or the Zip Drive manual? Or -most likely, since I haven't seen it
in these manuals- in another one that I will have to buy? :-)

To fix this small problem, I have connected my Zip drive's adaptor and
my A3010's power plug to a 3 way adaptor (which in turn is plugged into a
4 way adaptor which in turn is plugged into a single socket). Only prob.
is the Zip drive's adaptor is so f***ing big. I reckon it's even bigger
than my old Electron's adaptor!
Does anybody know where I can get a smaller adaptor from?

Also, has anybody had any experience with Doggysoft's Termite or ANT's
Internet suite, I'm going to buy one or the other - but which one?
