Oh, well, I guess I could live with that. I as well cant understand
why a program like xp cant run the damn thing. Is that why we pay
Microsoft every time an update comes around? So that we have the
inability to run some classic programs such as JSW? That stinks.
But I guess that I can deal with the spectrum. I will go for it.
