Alas, you need help. Not to worry; start up Emacs and
type:
M-x doctor
(ESC-x doctor)
;-) :-) :-)
First UNIX, then Emacs. Add X and there won't be a single byte left in the
system.

So that one can have a useful computer system.
But not usable.

Why not drive a lorry to work? Wouldn't you like
to drive a big,
shiny, new Ford F550 pickup truck to work? I recon that you're afraid
that your cow-orkers would turn green with envy... let 'em. :-)
I really wouldn't, it sucks to much fuel.
What's a Vespa? I've never heard of one, but I
wouldn't want to drive
something with a name like that.
It's a scooter, silly.

Cheap? Over US$1.50 a gallon is not cheap; it was over
US$1.70
several months ago... it would be reasonably priced, however, if our
dear lame-brained, tax-hungry, common-sense-deprived, politicians
weren't taxing it so heavily. At 12 to 13 miles per gallon on the
highway, such prices have a way of adding up. Perhaps we should just
find a way to bottle the hot-air from politicians' mouths and then
find a way to use it to propel vehicles; then, there would be no real,
or perceived, energy shortage.
Gallon? Miles?

En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.
I installed 7.6.1 on my Color Classic too. It has 6mb ram now, and no FPU
yet. Things really slowed down when I installed the Appearance extention and
control panel. But now the GUI is OS8ish! ;) That little creep is so cute,
I'll probably leave instructions to have it made my urn. It'll hold my ashes,
and still continue to function as a computer ;)
