It will probably need upgrading, too. Those cooling fins are antiquated compared to today's technology. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

Perfectly reasonable and polite question. He accuses me of "hurling abuse" at him. I am being as polite as you like. This is the second or third time he's dodged the question, incidentally. A while back, you see, I said, with irony intended, "you have no idea..." in reply to one of his posts, and he spat the dummy. I pointed out that my posting was not meant as an attack, but was actually in agreement with what he'd said. Someone else gently pointed this out to Rowly as well. But no, he wouldn't accept this, and went blattering on about 'personal attacks'. If he wants to construe every polite question as abuse, let him. I must confess to being curious as to how long he can keep it up. |
