Trent, Geez… haven't seen your name here for awhile. Been lurkin' or did you freeze? Still up there on the tundra? The Bobster….going Amiga 'til the hard drive dies.

Hey Bob, Nope, neither lurking nor online for over a month. Had more to do with a quicky temporary duty further up north for a month than anything else (phone service is terrible up that far north (no satellite service as too far north). Anyway, I'm now back down in civilization (was in Montreal for a bit) and am about two hours away from Edmonton. The ultra secure gov't job has now become a myth. The civil service in Canada is taking a beating and will continue to take a beating in the forseeable future (good! Now we can get 'real' jobs <g>). So what's been happening in soggy (or is that foggy?) Seattle? Get any snow yet? Trent One of the "Frozen Chosen"

No snow, just alot of Republicans. In fact I think Newt Ginrich wants to annex Canada and turn it into one BIG "Boys Town". If things go the Marxist dialect way, I may need to become a Canadian 'til the curve starts its upward journey. Keep in touch….actually thought about buying a power mac….I need strenght… The Bobster….going Amiga 'til the hard drive dies.

Well, I did pick up a 386DX33 and plan to upgrade it to a 486DX66 (for the games you understand <bg>), but I find I use Amy more than the competition. Have never really seen one of the new Macs running anything. Take care, and Happy New Year.. Trent

I feel Macs are a little more akin to the Amiga. Windows kinda looks like a bad comic book….haven't seen OS/2 warp. Really can't afford to do anything right now, tried to add 4 megs to my 3000 but it seems we're talkin' $400(US) WOW….. maybe $150 for 3.1 would perk me up (but it seems alittle querky on a 3000. Happy new year……still at 2.04 The Bobster….going Amiga 'til the hard drive dies.

Hell, at least you _have_ the ability to upgrade to 3.1. I have a 1200 and if I put in 3.1, I loose my PCMIA port (little loss, as I am not using it, but in the future?) I say go for it. Trent
