Hi John > I have been put on to a regular computer tips column, called BootCamp on Tuesdays in the UK Daily Telegraph. It is also archived and there are over 300 articles on www.telegraph.co.uk/bootarc Registration is the usual complex repetitive business but well worth it. That sounds a bit like "Ask Jack", the Jack Schofield computer column which appears in "The Guardian" each Thursday here in the UK. Again, it is archived, but there's no need to register to use it. Many of the queries are similar to those raised on this list. Go to :- http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/askjack/story/0,,1285512,00.html Best wishes.
