It's been fun reading your computer adventures just as I finished reformatting my main drive and re-installing XP. I did two major mess ups, which considering this is the third time I've done this makes no sense at all, but it's together and running as fast as an old machine can run. One of the strangest things that's happened is the desktop icons are extra large and no matter how often I tell it to go back to large it refuses. It's almost like it has a mind of it's own so I've decided to allow this to please the computer gods.

7 does sound interesting. Might consider it for the newer computer that's running Vista.

Seeing your user picture makes me smile. I taught at his high school, but not when he was there. He comes back and visits and the town goes wild.
