This is terrific service.
I now have my screen up and running so I can see what I'm doing. I
tried hardware analysis using Sandra but my version doesn't run under
W98SE. I hope that you all know about Sandra. If not look for
Sisoftware on the web.
I think that I've got a lot to look forward to. It seems that I have
everything I am likely to need.
Again, many thanks
Colin
