    Thanks for that gem, Pete. I have an ancient (exhorbitantly expensive)
    Gateway2000 laptop that has a P133 chip and 40Mb of RAM and a 2Gb HDD.
    If I can find the time, I might just put one of those on it - just to
    see if it the laptop can handle it; otherwise, it will have to go, I am
    afraid
