It is obvious to me that I have been walking around with blinkers on. I
guess there weren't too many sold where I live (Perth, Western Australia),
so it would be easy to assume that would be the case elsewhere. Obviously
not.
I apologise to any that I have offended on the list with my opinions, which
seem to be incorrect.
Anyway, I won an Silver Lucent wireless card on ebay today, so hopefully it
will go well with the upgraded 2000 that arrives next week.
Kind regards
Rod.
