Well, but one needn't use WYSIWYG; I never do and neither do a lot of
other people. Because it's so long since I used III, I cannot recall
which of the really useful features in 4 were new to it, but I know
there were lots. Improvements in Change and Replace, IIRC, real
italics (instead of the kludgy use of MDBR), certainly more powerful XPL.

OUch! On the power supply, I mean. The rest sounds very good. I like
Asus Mobos: two at the office and their bargain-basement division
ASRock one here. The ones we have are notable for keeping all the old
connectors: 2 PS/2 ports, parallel, even serial.
After only a week, the PS should be under warranty still. Hope it
didn't fry anything when it went.
