When it boots up, it prints some information onto the screen, and then prints out the start up menu. How do I go about seeing what that information was that was printed out prior to the startup menu presentation? I am just sort of curious as to what it is displaying. -- Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net The word "spine" is of course an anagram of the word "penis". This is true in almost fifty percent of the languages of the Galaxy and many people have attempted to explain why. Usually the explanations get bogged down in silly ones about "stand erect".
