Good day, Holger.   
      
    JP>>     Why not go to the BIOS and enable write protection ?   
      
   	 	This I find in BIOS, third from the top-left menu, Adavnced BIOS Features   
   as "CPU Virus warning" or words to that effect and I have Enabled it.   
      
    HG> OTOH, that machine is mostly used to transfer files (bulletins), from   
    HG> USB sticks to diskettes, because it has the plug-in diskette drive.   
      
   	Diskette ? What are those ?  :-)   
      
    HG> I'm still fighting Thunderbird. I want it to get the new messages   
    HG> immeadetely to my HD, to be read/edited (bulletins), offline.   
      
      
   	I have not used this function at all, I can not even comment on it.   
      
   	 > I certainly would want somebody reading this, to alert me how to connect   
    HG> to that company, or at least give me a hint of where I could get a more   
    HG> up-to-date version.   
      
      
   	I am reading it but no help here, Holger. Ask Alan, he knows it all.   
      
    HG> I think that's up to ourselves. The message activity is certainly low.   
    HG> I seem to be occupied for at least five years after my death ;o).   
      
   	I would be so lucky but let me wish it on you.
