I think I'll just set different priorities, but anyway it's all purely
theoretical at the moment 'cos the IBM UW drive I have bought from someone
hasn't arrived yet. :-(

Not connected- but have you read the story today about this old lady who's
allergic to new technology- in particular the electro-magnetic frequencies
given out by the majority of white (is this the right term?) goods made
today. Her TV is still an old B&W model from the 60's. That's one bummer of
an allergy.
All the best,
