See a 1200 MHz PC, you sometimes have to wait 5-6 seconds for a menu to drop down; this is of course because of the swap, and the swap is because of "resource hungry" programs. On a 1040ST menus reacted in a fraction of second. -- CVV Konrad M.Kokoszkiewicz, http://draco.atari.org ** Ea natura multitudinis est, ** aut seruit humiliter, aut superbe dominatur. ** Taka to już natura pospólstwa, albo służalczo się płaszczy, ** albo bezczelnie się panoszy.
