I wouldn't have had that much patience, which is why I took at the broad and well paved highways instead of the narrow and bramble-choked ruts you took! Of course, I'm used to alternate systems (DRDOS, Geos, OS/2, Linux), so I always made sure of my hardware and never trusted the computer salesmen. A hint for your printer: check out apsfilter. If your modem isn't a winmodem, it should be a snap as well. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
