But you need 256kb of system ram to use them, my box only has

Well, here it is over 23 years later, and I am still looking for that
change, Mark. :)
How shall we celebrate the 24th anniversary of this post?
> I wonder if something horrible happened.
Yes: The U.S. getting bogged down in Lebanon, Somalia, and Iraq;
Israel getting bogged down in Lebanon, the
Soviet shootdown of a Korean airplane, the Chernobyl accident, the
Challenger accident, the Iran/Contra scandal,
Saddam's chemical warfare against Kurds and Iranians, the Soviet Coup,
the Waco fisaco, the Oklahoma Federal
Building bombing, the bombings of two U.S. Embassies in Africa, the
U.S. bombing Afghanistan, the Sudan, Iraq,
and Bosnia, the Florida election meltdown, the 9/11 terrorist attacks,
the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,
terrorist attacks all over the world, and the December 26th tsunami.
