Someone who is unfortunte not to have reasonable bandwith, as is my situation, perhaps could prevail on a friend with a high bandwidth connection and a cd burner to let you fetch your debs. That is a bit inconvenient, but it beats not having a phone for a day. It doesn't take long at school, where they have a quite fast connection. I wish you Lots of luck, and at least one very good friend with a fast conenection and a brner. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
