Exactly.  But I was asked how fast the emulators were, and that was a quick
way of finding out!  :)

To many of the people on c.s.c I think masturbation IS sex!  :)

Go for it!

Who's paying?  Compu$erve is well named!  :(

Who, me?  :)

Try sending me some mail R.Alphey{at}dce.vic.gov.au and I'll let you know what
your address is.  Hmmmm - I know what your address will be.

If your compu$erve account is 74231,684 (as I assume compu$erve accounts
are), then your internet address is 74231.684{at}compuserve.com

It's $50.

I think you'll be pretty impressed with the software!
