 I might add he's using Mozzilla & Gnome. The cheater! =:0

 It that ads thing. =:o Is no such thing a free Mail List. The HTML
 attachments by the YaYhoos are their group sponsor. I even see them
 in plain text! People with dial-up don't care for this crap.

 True, but too many bodies hang out here neither! =:o

 Sorry you lost your AIO job. :-\ I always looked forward to AIO for
 the latest gossip and news. I hope things will evolve into something
 better. :)

 I saw Mark's 'Just-Amiga' posting for an open AIO ML. That's good --
 keeping in touch with the Amiga maniacs. =:0

 I finally got my A1 to do internet. Another case of bad setup by
 the Debian distro. There's a DSL/PPPoE selection on the KDE Desktop
 to create the configure. Well, it didn't work. Read docs and HOWTOs
 'till my eyes fell out for last ten days.8-[ Finally, got the DHCP --
 DyanamicHostConnectionProtocal in the proper file. Jeez, what a trip!
 I have no SSL setup yet. I'm on the KDE MLs, so I'll ask someone
 there about that.

 I created a OS 3.9 Emergency-Disk in UAE. So, that looks really good.
 Another snag revealed: the OS CD uses CacheCDFS which is SCSI. The
 A1 is normal IDE. You can do SCSI emulation *IF* you know the magic
 words; I didn't. I used the sytems CDFS to go around that. Works! :)

 Will you run OS4 on your A4000? BlizzardPPC go on tour next month.

 Regards, Dennis
