    That'll be what I posted at 08/06/00 04:19, as you obviously didn't read
it, I'll repeat what I said :

"Sorry about the size, BTW, once I'd said I'd post an image of this I
realised I couldn't find the source and this image was the only decent one
I've got."

    As I said elsewhere, PSP was mucking me about as well, so I just wanted
to get the damn thing posted and myself off to bed (it being about 4:00am at
the time).

    Sorry - free connection, PSP, the late hour, not being able to find my
archive disks and feeling tired, oh and spending the last couple of days
downloading the entire back-catalogue of p.b.i [1] all played a part in the
big upload.

[1] I've never really subscribed to p.b.i before (dipped in every now and
again when I knew there were posts in there that I wanted to see), so I
decided to get the whole thing, see what I'd been missing out on. Damn!
There's some great stuff in here, and I've still got twenty or so thousand
posts unread.

One of the advantages to using Netscape for news group reading. The
text loads first and then the attachment. If you just want to read
the text wait for it to load and then hit the escape button which
will stop the attachment from loading.
