- Yep, add me to the list... I understand that this is some kind of problem
- with the client itself... don't know for sure, though... I have been looking
- for a better PC client for months and haven't found one. If I could do it, I
- would make a better client, but thats not possible (at least not now.).
-
- If anyone finds a better client for PC's and clones, lemme know... I'll even try
- someone's test version if you would like...
-
- Love gopherspace... hate spending time there with a PC.... oh well...
-
- (and before someone says "get a Mac", we have one, but the power that beez dont
- wanna put it on the network for some inane reason....)
