I remember doing *. on my BBC Micro for a directory listing or SHIFT + BREAK to boot of floppy, after two little beeps of course. Now I have to wait about 5mins to be able to do anything useful with my PC - the faster the computers the longer the boot time!

Just going back to the article that DA posted, I could of sworn that the VS system was linux based [?]

Of course being windows 3.0 based it would explain the need for the constant reboots [:p]

V:Port is the Linux based system. I thought Odyssey ran on Windows NT though not Win 3.1 [:?]

Sure I've seen the odd WinNT error box pop up with Odyssey [:w]
