    It that ads thing. =:o Is no such thing a free Mail List. The HTML   
    attachments by the YaYhoos are their group sponsor. I even see them   
    in plain text! People with dial-up don't care for this crap.

    True, but too many bodies hang out here neither! =:o   
      
    Sorry you lost your AIO job. :-\ I always looked forward to AIO for   
    the latest gossip and news. I hope things will evolve into something   
    better. :)   
      
    I saw Mark's 'Just-Amiga' posting for an open AIO ML. That's good --   
    keeping in touch with the Amiga maniacs. =:0   
      
    I finally got my A1 to do internet. Another case of bad setup by   
    the Debian distro. There's a DSL/PPPoE selection on the KDE Desktop   
    to create the configure. Well, it didn't work. Read docs and HOWTOs   
    'till my eyes fell out for last ten days.8-[ Finally, got the DHCP --   
    DyanamicHostConnectionProtocal in the proper file. Jeez, what a trip!   
    I have no SSL setup yet. I'm on the KDE MLs, so I'll ask someone   
    there about that.   
      
    I created a OS 3.9 Emergency-Disk in UAE. So, that looks really good.   
    Another snag revealed: the OS CD uses CacheCDFS which is SCSI. The   
    A1 is normal IDE. You can do SCSI emulation *IF* you know the magic   
    words; I didn't. I used the sytems CDFS to go around that. Works! :)   
      
    Will you run OS4 on your A4000? BlizzardPPC go on tour next month.   
      
    Regards, Dennis
