First, how do you use SetAlert ? I got it at a disk with a lot more stuff, but don't know how to use it. I recall it should come with WB 1.3, but is the rest of 1.3 required? Could/Should Gomf be used together with SetAlert, and how is it used? I have heard it is good, so I'm going to download it. Whay the long delay of 25 seconds when starting up with a jh0: PC hard disk? Some friends of mine have such beasts and are rather annoyed. Any good tips for speeding up the boot sequence for a system like mine with a B2000, two floppies, 3 meg RAM and a 44 meg SCSI hard disk?
