I choose Apache naturally, which then effectively secured the port - and - it is a great way to bypass windows sharing entirely as it does a way-hey-hey better job of sharing the files and directories you actually want to share. >> Enough of this OT I agree - back to things that really matter - anyone >> got >> a rust free 89/90 9000 5 speed/5 door with a dead engine stinking up the >> place who is willing let go for a song? > > Still looking, eh? That '88 SPG went for rather a lot on eBay, Dave Pretty much every time I light up the NG900 I picked up to replace my beloved 89 9000T brother Dave. I have got to think that somewhere in the vast southern wilderness of North America there is a late, rust free series one slant nose 5 door 5 speed with a croaked engine and a disenchanted owner. Unfortunately, I fear most of them have simply given up and don't even bother to look around for a 'Wanted - used SAAB 9000 Turbo in need of an engine' posts like mine. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Joe Cocker - Bird on a Wire http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/060.RAM
