Subj : contingency plans To : JASEN BETTS From : AUGUST ABOLINS Date : Fri Jun 29 2001 04:03 am -> Software could be a problem, but the 486 shouldn't be bothered by an IDE cdrw -> drive, you could use doslinux as a base to run the writer software if you -> don't want to go win-32. My understanding was that a 486/66 was too slow for cdr or cdrw use. I couldn't play mp3's or do any RealPlayer audio. Naaa.. at this stage a new 'puter would be better anyway. On another computer, it's 15" monitor just broke down (yesterday). The monitor was only 6 years old. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:18/140) .
