Hi. I am using Desqview/386 and I noticed that access to hard disk becomes VERY slow in some cases. For example, swaping a programm of 600K to disk takes 10 sec! And the drive has a transfer rate of 800K/sec. I don't want to increase the intereave. I believe I will have the best results if I use a write-back cache of 1Mbyte. So! Does anybody know of a good write-back cache? I would not mind if I had to pay for it. Please don't tell me about write through caches, they are not any good for this problem.

This seems pretty simple. Cash the ace of clubs and upon seeing dummy casually switch to your *singleton* trump. And then show me a declarer who won't take a second round trump finesse! This actually happened at the Lancaster Nationals where I had to play KJxx Qxxx AQ Txx opposite (in hand) Axxx AKx void AK98xx in 7 no-trump. when I got a passive spade lead and the queen of spades didn't drop in two rounds, and clubs were 2-2 I played the hand as a double squeeze, catching righty in a spade-heart squeeze. On the other hand, a friend of mine was unlucky enough to play the hand in 6 spades (with everyone in the world making 6 losing just the Queen of Spades) against Mike Cappelletti, Sr. who lead his *singleton* club (from Qx) and the declarer took the second round club hook, and YOU WOULD TOO!
