Well, altho' I've got lots of bits hanging off it, it's all arranged pretty
neatly, and since i'm fed up waiting around for jpegs to decode, running out
of memory running AWeb and can't be bothered rendering anymore 'cos it takes
too long (tho' I used to enjoy it).

And 'cos I use a lot of WMF files in WW7 (but again, I have to wait around
for my ARexx script to convert and load them), the '040 is definitely
looking favourite. So what are the pitfalls. (I believe them there darn
things run pretty hot, and condume a lot of power). Will it be OK in the
desktop (I generally use it with the trapdoor cover off, and I'm using an
old A500 power supply). Will that be enough?

Regards

Steve.
