  27.  
  28. This Pointer will help you find the information you need and get your

  31. Post your article in the most appropriate newsgroup according to its topic.
  32. Please do not post your hardware questions to software newsgroups,
  33. and vice versa. "For Sale" articles are never appropriate to
  34. either the hardware or software newsgroups.
  35.  
  36. Comments & suggestions are always welcome!
