- 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...
