   Good afternoon Paul,   
      
   Yes it really is A-N here too.   
      
    HG> I did it too. I may never need it but just in case. The only Windows   
    HG> system I have is on my Lenovo but the newer one doesn't even have an LPT   
    HG> port.   
      
   PQ> I kind that of know the feeling.  Both of the two Dell desktop PCs   
   PQ> currently used here don't have any COM ports!  You do realize how   
   PQ> frustrating that is for a Fidonet sysop, don't you?  Sort of like an   
   PQ> Irishman in a room full of shovels being told to 'take his pick'.   
   PQ> ;)   
      
   So far, due to OS/2, I have been able to run machines that maybe   
   wouldn't accept the newer versions of Windows so all my desktops/towers   
   do have both LPT and COM ports.   
      
    HG> Neither does it have a diskette drive so I have to use an external one.   
      
   PQ> Ah, yes.  It is similar here.  Only my old P90 (old Fido PC), that's   
   PQ> been gathering dust over the last four years, has a HDD (3.5" I   
   PQ> think).   
      
   I did really write about floppy diskette drive. Yes 3.5" but not HDD.   
      
      
   Have a nice evening down there,   
      
   Holger
