Thanks for the info. That is a thought. I will add that to the list I am
sending him tonight. And yes, I can't wait to get it. I have had XP Home
sitting here for 2.5 years and this POC could not be upgraded.

*MDG* Computer Company put a 1997 BIOS in it in 2001.....and it wouldn't
support either the upgrade or a second HD. I am naming the company so any
Canadian is aware of what happened to me....and could happen to them. I
suppose I could have blasted them and perhaps gotten a bit of a deal from
them on a new one, but it just ain't worth it......I don't trust them.

I also took a fair lightning hit a month ago and it fried the network card
and in general *upset* a few things, but I think it is doing OK for now.

Cheers......and thanks......Heather
