We won the cold war. The Russians spent trillions defending their stuff,

Swie, Get your hands on a copy of PC Magazine, August 1990 issue. The PS/1 was the cover story. jim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "The opinions expressed here in no way represent the views of Digital Equipment Corporation."
