I know this has been answered already, James, but can I beg you to 
consider a memory upgrade? It's pretty inexpensive these days (anybody 
remember Sinclair 16k RamPacks at 100 quid???), and will transform your 
life and capabilities. 

I'd be surprised if many ST users around here are running on less than the 
full 4 meg (if only I could squeeze a few more in there...), and along 
with getting the old Hard Drive and modem it's a number one priority! if 
you're running an STE stick a couple of megs straight in and take it from 
there. If it's an STFM seek out a Marpet XRAM board and slap it in 
yourself (piece of piss) with (again) at least a couple of megs on it - 
you're then upto 2.5 megs and running!!

Have fun
Andrew
