Oh, I had prodigy, also! I remember a guy I was going to school with bought a 386 that ran at 20Mhz. I thought he was the cat's ass with that thing... I was SO jealous! Oh, and remember, to get any real speed out of them, you had to add a math coprocesser!! BTW, bassie, did I tell you I loved NASA's World Wind? Great program. -- 'Til next time, John H Oh, and I can't wait till someone's birthday comes up.... thanks! You're welcome! Hell, I sent one to you and to Chuck, but hadn't heard anything.
