This was all I could salvage from the original thread started by VSC's original ad. This thread deserved some additional comments from me. I included these in (parenthesies) to separate them from the original text. Also notice how the news.accessone.com postings always seem to make it to the microsoft.* groups. I wonder if they have a deal with MS to feed off their news server, because that server doesn't participate in Usenet.

I wanted to believe it helped, but I couldn't tell ANY difference. The price is right, but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Good luck!

Next thing he'll be telling us is it'll work in 4 MB.)
