 MK> Amen, but I still favour text.  

My primary reason for liking html as much is I retrieve motherboard
and electronics specifications and the attending pictures are nice
for locating the jumpers and whatnot on the motherboards.
Modems, ect.

 MK> mga_vid doesn't need them.  ;-)

 MK> You'll come around yet.

I know, I know.
Stop, but I am stubburn! 
And opinionated.
Thusly it takes some days or weeks to come around.

Just loverly.
Winblows strikes again, complicating and mucking up everything as usual.

 WC> Now I know that file name suffix refers to a tarred and zipped file.
 WC> tar -zxvf to extract :-)

 MK> Exactly.

Precisely!

 WC> See Maurice, I *LIKE* figuring all this stuff out for myself.

 MK> :-)  You're almost as bad as my neighbour Paul.  I think he is a tad

 MK> No problem with me.  Piece of cake.  Heh, heh.

 MK> Practice, practice, practice.  There is no magic in this.  Errrr ...
 MK> the good stuff that is.

 MK> Life is good,
