Thanks for that Gordon. Interesting. A =real= operating system for a box that 
held so much promise and was compromised by the lack of a native operating 
system for so many years.
Blasted shame it is.
Whilst I am a IBM PC Compat user, I appreciate other boxes and operating 
sytems and the benefits (and otherwise) that are on offer.
I feel that Apple have shot themselves in the foot big time with their 
stranglehold on the Mac PC and this will eventually mean their demise. I hope 
that I am wrong. We need them.
What has this got to do with Viruses etc ??
Very little except that these platforms need support in here as well, and the 
users of these systems should be free to post here without fear of stupid 
ridicule by ignorant short sighted people.
Thanks again. Gordon.
