Hi. How that I know I can send to the list, and hope that it makes it to the usenet as well, I have a couple questions. First, I have managed to put together enough $$ for a hard drive. What I would like to know is, which of the kits is better, the ICD, the Supra, or the BMS one. I realize thatit is somewhat difficult to say if you only had one of them, but what is the general feeling on the net. Also, what about drives. I think I want a seagate "ST296N", but the "ST277R" also looks good.OY(K which one do you people think it would be better - appart from the 20 meg extra storage of the 296, which I might not really need, but it's nice to have. Also, if the 277 is the choice, do I get the "XT" or the "AT" kit, or just the bare drive? Second, after having received all the parts (all 21 of them) for the GNUemacs from the Panathrea server, I found out that the 'emacs' file was corrupted. All other 'unzooed' ok, and even the emacs one did, but gave me a warning, and wouln't load. So, would a kind sould mail but gave me a warning, and wouln't load. So, would a kind soul mail me the 'emacs' file. Also, is there a better editor that I should perhaps look at? Thanks, and sorry to have gone on for so long but this IS my first 'real' post. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ BITNET: usereaxe@sfu; INTERNET/ARPA: cassius_longinus@cc.sfu.ca ~ ~ UUCP:..!ubc-cs!cc.sfu.ca!cassius_longinus; or a1254@mindlink.uucp ~ ~ CIS: 73040,2210; ~ ~ Standard disclaimer: ~ ~ Since I work for myself, I stand behind my words!
