hi,
i understand EXACTLY what your talking about with the pc issues. see,
i'm using an old pc from 1997. yeah, you probably catch on ;). if you
can let me know when you'll be on the irc, i'll try to get on and we
can talk about getting xdp back in "production"(when i get my
98se/2000 dualboot working again ;) ). thanks for the quick reply. if
you want to contact me via email, my email is netman85am@...

thanks!
