     Sounds interesting - it needs something like this to keep it going, doesn't it.

     Yes, I've been following these developments in the international echos
and newsgroups and am trying to be enthusiastic about it - but it's all
vapourware, isn't it, till we see something.

"Miami"

     Yes, but it's still only small fry, really, compared to what's
happening around the world in relation to computers.

     I tried that - but from what I could see - there is access to only a
limited file range and certainly not the sort of programs (ADS/SANS) I'm
likely to be interested in.

 RVR> But I'll grab it for you if you like..

     Thanks.

     Well, I'll see if your awake as early as me.

     Thanks mate. No wonder you're in here on your own. ;)
