So, according to this page the worries about the financial well-being of 
Mandrake have been founded in fact -- they are in the French/EU version 
of Chapter 11.

IF nothing bad happens and their most recent 6 month improvement, after 
a 31% "Massive reduction in operating losses" in late 2002, holds then 
they may be OK.

Meanwhile, back to looking for a replacement motherboard for my desktop 
PC.  Any recommendations for something decent, RFI-quiet, and reaosnably 
priced?  Perhaps a barebones kit?

Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e
