The trouble with add on libs is you have to make sure you carry those
around with you as well. I kinda like just having to carry pb.exe and
the .hlp file only when going to a new machine. More irritating than
the com support is no svga support, or even decent vga support. Yes it
is available thru libs, but once again it is something else you have to
remember...

something like that. still only 6 online at a time though. i am
always looking for the inexpensive 100 cd changer. if it only had 1
cd-rom drive that would be fine, but needs to hold at least 100 cd's,
of which i could easily fill. i like going to those computer shows at
the fairgrounds and community center, if i find shareware cd's around
$10 that i don't have usually get them.
did you move btw? Eric
