Version 3.01 works just fine. However here is the URL: http://home.cnet.com/category/topic/0,10000,0-3709-7-285083,00.html Also notice Linux: http://home.cnet.com/category/topic/0,10000,0-3709-7-285079,00.html Now recently I have heard a story on Public Radio concerning "other" OSs for computers where they mentioned RedHat and others but not FreeBSD. I don't know what the general feeling around here is, but I have read many people's letters outlining why FBSD beats Linux technically, etc. And therefore it will eventually be the OS of choice, &c, &c, &c . . . . It might be true. But Linux is winning the PR war (If there is one). I remember hearing and reading about the obvious advantages of BETAMAX. What kind of VCR do you own? Just some thoughts.
