Thank-you for your post. My micro-computer exposure began with a Heath Kit, and I sometimes fail to fully appreciate the mountain sized obstacles faced by people who have joined the PC party late. As such I tend to get carried away with explanations of things that are needlessly complex and technical. While I find the choices and trade-offs in PC and OS design an interesting study, the next person is probably more interested in getting the e-mail read and the chequebook balanced. The benefit of a thread like this is that those wishing to learn can be helped along, and at the same time, the techies can see how wide the gap between them and the people they are trying to serve has become. YOU HAVE PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION!!!! YOUR PROGRAM IS BEING SHUT DOWN!!! Quite a while ago, someone posted that they bought a new scanner. Once connected to their system, they decided to try it out by scanning a $20 bill. Their system decided to choke at just that moment, and produced the Illegal Operation message. They wondered how their computer knew they were counterfeiting. Cheers, PW.
