EEK! Don`t even suggest that... last time that happened I lost SOOOO much stuff!

I`ve got my system finely tuned to my specs, using a few programs I wrote plus a
few Windoze hacks to speed things up a little. I do keep things simplish, though
not as simple as you suggest!

I have Win95 with MSIE 4.0 and all that Jazz, and other than that it`s pretty
much run of the mill small apps. I use TextPad as a texted, WordPad as a word
processor (or sometimes I do my work in NotePad using HTML and print it from
MSIE *S*) and of course the obligatory mIRC+FTPx+Free Agent combo that makes up
my net apps arsenal.

Believe me, what I have on my hard disk now is almost bare minimum for the work
I do. My job requires me to have an up to date graphical browser (IE of course)
and the other programs sorta come with it!

When I get my zip drive I`ll move all of my backup .zip files (almost my entire
software collection was internet downloaded!) to a zip disk with will releive my
hard disk of.....  34MB   plus I can move my work from school and job to another
disk and my 2MB ascii collection+all my other graphics to another which shold
free up quite a lot... then I can purge my newsgroup archive for some more
space..... hell I could have an almost empty HDD soon ('part from the 150MB
windoze takes up!)

Bye,
Martin
