Hey Ray...   How about dumping the 6500 and all the OLD technology and 
get a newer machine..  seems to me that if you will spend a more time 
kickin' a dead horse.   I just pitched about 6 ADB mice and keyboard 2 
Kingston ADB trackballs....  I didn't think that anyone in the DMMUG 
were still running 9.1 and below...  if I had known... I would have 
given you all of them. ...  Sorry

Kevin
