Thanks for that advice Dave, I will look into the price here for a second hard drive. I only have an Acer power 6500 Pentium II, and didn't really have a choice when I bought it, as it was a customer who provided it in payment for a container of ceramics. In Cyprus we still have the old barter system :) Coincidentally, we had curry today. On Mondays I always use the chicken left overs to make a curry pie. Best wishes Angela Cyprus
