ZP, the comedy goes on... I finally have the box together! Ran to CompUSA and bought two adapters for Keyboard and Mouse to allow them to plug into the PS/2 ports on the BH6. Wouldn't you know it... the mouse adapter is real wide and the orientation sends it right across the port for the keyboard! AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....... I already have 3 extra keyboards in the closet... hate to buy another, but may just chuck it and get a new KB and mouse for the &U$#)$# PS/2 ports. The savings on the mailorder prices are being eaten up by gas expenses for the car!

Zeuspaul, I see by your profile you may be a seafearin person at times. When you get time, and want to read a short story about a sinking fishing boat and nightime rescue effort (true) check this out. It is 6 p.m., Jan. 30, 1998, on the Fairweather Grounds in the Gulf of Alaska. For the skipper and four-man crew of the La Conte, a fishing vessel, it's the maw of meteorological hell. All afternoon, the La Conte has pounded into headwinds and building seas trying to make the nearest land, 80 miles eastward. In six hours, crew members will remember later, she manages three miles. And the ship is leaking. Every hour, 2,200 gallons are pumped from her bilge, but the water keeps rising, sloshing now just below the engine. mailtribune.com Click on Archives in left upper corner Click on December 1998 Scroll down to 12-20-1998 Click on STORMS GODS & HEROS, PART 1 It's in a 5 part series, ending on December 24, 1998 Spellbinding/bounder.
