Not only is BIFF alive and well, he has an atari ST. This is sort of a ``best of comp.sys.atari.st digest'' The headers have mostly been removed to protect the innocent. Those with .signatures are not innocent. >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Well this is my first attempt at posting an artical.

I gotta admit, I love the concept. ``I know, I'll make a signature file to point out that I don't know my address'' After all. it's much easier to post my lack of understanding of network addresses to 275,000 people than to ask the guy next to me who knows what my address is. >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > >I want to be unsubscribed.
