I am assuming that you are able to set the graphics mode yourself using the
GFXMode program? HOW?!?!?!?
I was talking to power c about it earlier on today and they have told me
that sometimes it works on some ppls setup but on others it just totally
gurus ppls machines... they also told me that it would not with thier setups
which they had tried it on and that a newer version of the drivers should be
out soon (yeah, have'nt we all heard that one before! ;-) )

likewise m8, I got mine so I can Ethernet my PC and miggy together so I stop
getting hassled off my sister to be online! :-) also going to get a sound
card for it. I WAS going to get a TV tuner cos they are pretty cheap but now
I aint sure cos I would lurve to get one of those Shark PPC's for it! :-)))
