   Why?  I do quite like the natty duck and I'm having no trouble with that   
   side of things.  I wish I could afford to get a nice graphics   
   card though.  If I wanted to get msblister I would have to.  As well as   
   chuck in some more ram.  But screw that.  It's out of the question   
   anyway, because all my spare cash is going into the house I'm building.    
   I just got council approval on Friday to do the cladding, plumbing and    
   wiring.  Sorry that's OT.   
      
   I'm really hanging around here in the hope that one of you knowledgeable    
   people will help me with the thread I started about gnutella.  You gotta    
   start somewhere learning all the back end stuff.  This seams as good as    
   anywhere.  Please! :-)
