If all of us were to think alike and follow the same path life would be a very boring replica of Orwell's '1984'. Luckily it's a free country and we can say what we think. From my side I've been quiet because my laptop won't boot and my whole life is on that sucker. So, I'm desparately trying to get off what I can but it looks like I'll have to use it as a second drive somewhere and then grab whatver directories I can and then start over. In the meantime I bought a new laptop with al the latest goodies but there I can't get my USB printer to work. It simply refuses to recognize the sucker. Of course Gateway says it must be the printer. HP is ouit for the weekend and so it goes in lala land. Fred
