It stopped, so far, today. I wasn't online much as I was working on a
Yamaha 40hp outboard for a friend who was in a panic with guests arriving
from Seattle. Damned Yamaha uses stiff wire wound around a pencil then
points the tip and just shoves it up into the ignition wire to make contact
with the spark plugs so they don't have to buy a proper spark plug socket.
All three were shoved up into the cap, but only one was shoved clear out of
touching the plug. Yamacrap.

Oh, sorry, off subject abuse...(c;

I'm using Xnews (xnews.newsguy.com) because it will download and decode ANY
kind of binary posts in a selected que and store it while I'm away or
asleep. I got 12 movies while I was fooling with the Yamacrap today!...(c;

I used to use Free Agent for text groups, but it crashed Win98SE so often I
gave up. Xnews NEVER crashes the computer....UNLESS I select over 190,000
messages in the massive binary newsgroups, when it simply overruns
Win98SE's miserable 128MB of memory limit...(c;
