One of us has obviously read more "concise history of : Amiga" articles than
the other.

That would be nice. But I don't expect it to sell many copies.

God knows why, it's a futile idea, buying a second hand 4000 (can be had for
as little as £40) and upgrading that is better.

I used YAM from 2.0preview4 to YAM2.0 final. Over a year's solid use, I've set
up YAM on other people's computers. Had minor flame wars about it being the be
all and end all of emailers. Now I changed my mind. :)

The same way I decide the value worth of anything. By judging for myself, how
many other telnet clients do you have to pay for?

If you don't, you should get it. :)

Maybe not, but it doesn't mean I have to learn C to appreciate them. :)

LOL. :)
