I added a hint of the cord though... >When I got my 286 I kept my Amiga :) but my C64s have since bitten the dust. It's a shame really, the C=64 was a great machine. A standard C=64 ran at 0.96 Mhz, but i had an expantion card enabeling it to run at 8 MHz. (there was also a 20 MHz expansion card available from CMD inc.). -- Peter Punk \ / ---\\\\--- / \ Visit my MIDI-site at http://members.xoom.com/miditation Scientists are people who build the Brooklyn Bridge and then buy it. -- William Buckley
