Re: TI-H: Re: Grant: Master of AOL (NOT!)
sure it is. go to a business getting rid of their old machines. they usually
have old dos disks laying around ready to be trashed. and we're also not

talking about raw friggin usability in terms of network statistics. In terms
of network statistics, they are both just as easy and informative. let it
go.
