[Ham-Computers] Setting up home network

Woody,	

I trust Aaron Hsu and I based my conclusions on his professional opinions. Did
you read his rather extensive and comprehensive post, sir? 	

As far as arguing with you, I was not intentionally doing so.	

I am not able to use that particular search because of it not being written in
an ADA compliant formulation of coding that is conducive to GUI OSM
reconstruction and resultant conversion to a phoneme based derivative that is
respondent to the DECTALK PC speech synthesizer by the former Digital Equipment
Corp., purchased by Compaq Inc., which I believe was involved in a merger with
HW Corp.	

I certainly do wish that using a Windoes based computer equipped with screen
reading software and a hardware speech synthesizer for the blind and print
handicapped was as easy and efficient as sighted people believe it to be. DOS
was nearly as good as it gets, when it came to universal functionality, at least
for the handicapped, as it offered almost no restrictions. Windows is graphic
based, the blind can not see graphics and the nightmare began.	

If you know the keyboard commands which emulate the mouse to use this search, I
would greatly appreciate knowing them, sir.	

Thank you.

Dwayne:

Instead of arguing with me, try doing a search on Google on "Pentium 2". 
I found at least three websites that listed the same information, and I 
included a link to the website.  Everything in my email was copied from 
the website verbatim.

Check out the following website for detailed specs on the Pentium Pro 
CPU, which was the first processor from the Intel Pentium II processor 
family:

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/80686/TYPE-Pentium%20Pro.html

If I have a choice of believing the data from the website, or what you 
are saying, the choice is clear and simple.
