[me] unsubbing for a bit

just a note to say that, due to diminished internet access on my part (i
can't get linux *or* win95 to run on my box - it's enough to make you
buy a Mac:)), i shall be unsubscribing for a while. see yous all later.

ps back in the day, at bolton, we could set the list to 'nomail' - it

mail i got when i joined:(.

pps it somewhow seems terribly egocentric to tell people i'm going, especially
given my recent silence; i feel all guilty now...

from one of the others still on that list was:
