There are a few things that I still don't understand about 
computers.  What's bugging me right now is logging onto the Akai site 
to get these free downloads.  I'm running win 98 and using a 56k 
modem.  I'm trying to access this site on aol but it's not working.   
I've seen it mentioned that an ftp client may be downloaded to assist 
in this.  Can someone tell me specifically which one they use and how 
I can get one ?  How to use it would be helpful too.
                                                 Thanks,
                                                         Chuckee
