│ I buy it. I read it. I keep from drooling on the pages. I'm OK with a │
│ 386SX-25, a 2400-bps modem and a dot-matrix printer. I don't NEED a │
│ high-speed fax/modem, a 486DX processor, or an inkjet or laser printer. │

│ What I need is a 30-hour day. I keep looking for that in Computer │
│ Shopper. Maybe next month . . . │
