My apologies for not being able to respond this week as I would like ...
I've been experiencing the same with a reconditioned puter bought in '98 on a Gateway auction. Little did I know that my techie son was building me a new one. He delivered it this weekend, networked it with the old and brought a new flat screen monitor that is absolutely gorgeous! XP Pro, IE, Firefox, Adobe everything, PSP X....so very very nice!
I am just amazed at what you have accomplished. It's even alphabetized! Major kudos and many thanks, dear AG.
