	- we could perhaps be the last couple of readers left of
	dipspc - is anyone else out there ?


	- "is anybody there ?"


	- currently, i'm trying to find a copy of snzTune, which i
	forgot to download off ftp.demon.co.uk during its last few
	days; this is a fairly leisurely hunt, however, as it isn't
	so often i discover i really would like to read a multiply-
	cross-posted article, let alone one by any of the few pains
	i've kill-filed... deleting unneeded messages from groups i
	don't expire in the ordinary way, would be its greatest use.

	(the last machine i know i had it on, was a 5x86 - a non-
	pentium - whose motherboard battery was (?)welded in - or
	possibly plumber's solder-ed in - and when it expired, i
	further discovered i'd need a metal-cutting torch, to get
	at the machine screws holding in the hard drive...)


	- love, a ppint. hoping demon/thus don't go through with
	  their plan to junk the current choice of smtp & pop3...
