Hi.

I finally looked @ the info for my RULE install. It is incorrect. So here is 
the corrected version. If there are any questions, just ask.

        PC OWNER : Eugene T.S. Wong, please contact me through the mailing 
list
        BOX TYPE : Desktop
        BRAND OF PC : n/a
        CPU : 486dx [or 486sx]
        CPU SPEED : 33 MHz [I think]
        MOTHERBOARD : n/a
        RAM SIZE : 8 MB
        RAM TYPE : n/a
        HD SIZE : approx 500 MB
        HD MODEL : n/a
        HD BUS : n/a
        CDROM MODEL : none
        CDROM SPEED : 0
        CDROM BUS : none
        GRAPHIC CARD MODEL : n/a
        GRAPHIC CARD RAM : 0
        GRAPHIC CARD BUS : n/a
        MOUSE : n/a
        KEYBOARD : 101 US
        MODEM INTERNAL: none
        MODEM EXTERNAL : none
        MODEM INTERNAL BUS : none
        MODEM EXTERNAL BUS : none
        SOUND CARD : none
        SOUND CARD BUS : none
        NETWORK CARD : D-Link [NE compatible]
        NETWORK CARD BUS : n/a
        OTHER CARD : n/a
        MONITOR TYPE :  crt
        MONITOR SIZE : 0
        MONITOR RESOLUTION : n/a
        MONITOR DEPTH : n/a
        MONITOR FREQ VERT : n/a
        MONITOR FREQ HORZ : n/a
        PRINTER : n/a

Also, there is an error in the template. The template says,
        MODEM INTERNAL:
        MODEM EXTERNAL :
        MODEM INTERNAL BUS :
        MODEM EXTERNAL :
but should probably read,
        MODEM INTERNAL:
        MODEM EXTERNAL :
        MODEM INTERNAL BUS :
        MODEM EXTERNAL BUS :

I would like to suggest that there be another option other than "n/a". As 
far as I understand, "n/a" is the same as "none". Maybe the template should 
suggest, both "unsure" and "none" for text, & 9991234 for numbers. I say 
that in case somebody actually has a zero. I'm not sure if anybody would 
really need a zero, but I suggest it just in case. I don't mind either way. 
If you do decide to make that change, then I'll send my computer info again, 
with the relevant changes.

Also, if the user is having trouble understanding what certain fields mean, 
then it should be obvious that he can look @ other pages. However it may be 
wise to mention it, just in case. For example, "If you are having trouble 
understanding what kind of information is being asked, then try looking at 
some of the other pages.".


Sincerely, & with thanks,
Eugene T.S. Wong
