<Major Lee snipped> hello BeOS fans, while i do kind of understand this question being posted here because afterall we are all BeOS users and a very friendly bunch but i really think that the amount of off-topic traffic this group generates is a little distractive of the overall objective of the list. can i please ask that "newbie" type of questions be posted to the BeGroovy forums ( http://forums.begroovy.com/ ) or the GreenBoard ( http:// www.thegreenboard.com/ ) or to the news lists ( comp.sys.be.help comp.sys.be.misc ) and not to this list. NO i am not anti-newbie. This email list is for OpenBeOS stuff. Not for questions about unofficial or even official BeOS releases with regards to "how do i ......" questions. So anyway. Sorry if i have offended anyone with this post, but the news groups and the forums are where questions like these should be addressed because some of us pay for every byte of traffic we receive. yes i know i can re-direct my email to hotmail and let my employer pay for me reading my emails while i'm at work. but that's ok as long as my employer allows me to have internet access. something in this day and age which every employer is questioning due to costs. regards peter aka moooooooo ******************************************* Peter Moore peter@xxxxxxxxx http://beos.loved.com/ ICQ 926967 (old) 95022055 (new - Oct 18, 2000) *******************************************
