Yip-yip-yip yahoo, I finally got it to work!  The drivers for my CD-Rom
drive and my soundcard were hogging the memory.  I did a step-by-step
deal when I booted up and only loaded the mouse driver and the files
related to memory.

Wasn't able to log on at first because I needed some IP info about the
server.  The IP techie was more than cooperative, and shazam, I'm
browsing in DOS! :^)  It's a little slow, but nothing too awfuly bad.

And of course, it's very simple after you get the setup :^)

Main drawback I've noticed is that it converts all image files to .bmp
format before it displays them.  Something to do with using less resources?? 
So I don't get to see all those purty little animated gifs that litter
the web.

This also doesn't have a spellchecker, so I can't look for errors before
I send my message.  I'm in trubble now!! ;^)

I also noticed I can't delete a block of text I have highlighted... I
can only cut it.  Oh well :^))

(this message is also doubling as my test message... if something is
screwy there's your answer :^))
