I use MS Photoed - its bundled with office xp and is just about good enough to do basic editing.

Almost definately....however, how big an amp do you have? <grin>

Post by: datalas on September 17, 2003, 20:24:26: in answer to that question.

Yes, a CD player can be fitted to a Series motor, although you might be better off sticking with a portable arrangement as they tend to have better anti-shock systems than ones fitted in cars, and believe it or not you'll notice how much it jumps without said things.

Ps: Nelly: the amp in Petro is 120W per channel :)
