Hi. How that I know I can send to the list, and hope that it makes 
it to the usenet as well, I have a couple questions.
 
First, I have managed to put together enough $$ for a hard drive. 
What I would like to know is, which of the kits is better, the ICD, 
the Supra, or the BMS one.  I realize thatit is somewhat difficult 
to say if you only had one of them, but what is the general feeling 
on the net. Also, what about drives. I think I want a seagate "ST296N", 
but the "ST277R" also looks good.OY(K which one do you people think 
it would be better - appart from the 20 meg extra storage of the 296, 
which I might not really need, but it's nice to have. Also, if the 
277 is the choice, do I get the "XT" or the "AT" kit, or just the 
bare drive?
 
Second, after having received all the parts (all 21 of them) for the 
GNUemacs from the Panathrea server, I found out that the 'emacs' file 
was corrupted. All other 'unzooed' ok, and even the emacs one did, 
but gave me a warning, and wouln't load. So, would a kind sould mail 
but gave me a warning, and wouln't load. So, would a kind soul mail 
me the 'emacs' file.  Also, is there a better editor that I should 
perhaps look at?
 
Thanks, and sorry to have gone on for so long but this IS my first 
'real' post.
