Hi! Roger,

We've ended-up with a stack of 'em hereabouts.  They're usually quite
reliable, though not so with their laptops.  Which might be a comment, in
any case, about laptops in general.

Running DOS stuff even in Windows (Vista, W7 or W8) these days requires at
least one hoop-jumping step.  Probably more.  It's kind of a break-even
situation: six of one, half-dozen of t'other.  I'm comfortable with XP
doing some elementary DOS stuff but nothing like in Win98.  U'u has a far
less overhead requirement, overall.

Hah!  I saw the movie just the other night!  (I found a copy, courtesy of
EwwToob.)  One of my favourite romantic flicks.  When younger, I was very
into flying & chicks.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
