HI Zach!
Thanks. Welcome! Glad to see the National Speleological Society on board,=
I'm NSS # 17757, a member since 1973.(joke) ;^)
And my next question is: is there any way to make 98SE let go of its
insistence on making "temporary" disc files out of every process you are
working on? With my out-of-date laptop, and 80 megs of HD space, and 32
megs of RAM, I open two programs (log on and Eudora) and I am shortly "out=
of disc space". What the heck does it have to do with all that 80 megs of=
temp files and 32 megs of RAM? Almost makes me long for the relatively
bug-free days of DOS, where you could actually monitor what the OS was
doing, and a database file was a disc file, not held preciously in memory
all the time.
Nowadays, Microsoft seems to be always virtually incorrect. Or should that=
be, virtually always incorrect?
my very best,
Marty Michener
