   I know.  You may not remember I ran OS/2 since the December 1992 beta and on   
   through Warp 3.  It was very stable.  One of the things I really liked about   
   it is that if a power failure occurred, any and all programs that were running   
   at the time were restarted when power was restored.

   It's worse than Usenet.  (-8  Do you realize that XP is no longer supported?

    HG> Nice to learn that. Maybe I will someday fall into the Windows

   I'm too old to learn Linux and the one time I did install it, I found the   
   serial rputines were too buggy for me, so it sits on a shelf with some of the   
   rest of my junk,  The rest of the junk, except for two backup systems, sit on   
   the closet floor.

   It does have some "goodies" in it, is somewhat intuitive, but you have to be   
   careful upon installing that too much of your personal information is not made   
   available to M$ or anyone else.  This can be accomplished by going through the   
   setup in the Control Panel and turning off some of its defaults.
