The Oric games are on 5.25"? ;)

Why do you not read the newsgroups, when you obviously use them as a selling
tool?

Maybe. Dunno. Just giving the guy a hard time for using the newsgroups
(en-bulk I may add) to advertise, and even say he does not read them. A bit
double minded if you ask me.

Taking my Mother-in-Law to the Grand Canyon. We all start travelling
tonight. I wonder if she will drop down the canyon at the same rate as a
rock?

Gravity is strong enough to counter such effects, unless you get a really
wide thin thing - like a hang-glider which has enough lift to counteract
most the down force of gravity.

Get,say a tennis ball and a bowling ball, and they drop at the same rate.

Few things ever are.

Yes I did my friend. Very impressive, and a major difference from when we
visited.

Apologies for being so late in my reply.
Life has just been that hectic, and my Windows XP was giving me problems.
Last week I reformatted my Windows partition and reinstalled.

All problems now seem to be fixed, and even Euphoric is running on WinXP-Pro
with no problems! YAY!!!
