Old boxes are fun to experiment with.
Take your old PC and put Linux on it.
Recommend Ubuntu or Mepic Linux.
The price is right, they are free.
My 5 yr old has WinME of its old HD
and Ubuntu on a newer HD.
My Ubuntu Linux box boots faster than my newer
Windoz XP box.
It is really nice to be able to view this forum
on my Linux box while following forum advice
on my newer XP box.

If this lazy old daug can do it, anyone can.
And I really like the "Reputation" comment I got, "JimS can only hope to improve".
That is so very true. The older I get the more I learn that there is so much more to learn.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.

Lt. Columbo and NightTran.
I appreciate your remarks on "Reputation".
A member had complained that his/her kids were rough w/ the DVD player.
I commented that boundaries were needed so kids wouldn't become wild dogs.
Apparently some (3 members) didn't think I was ... .
The member complained the player was being wrecked - I provided a good (IMHO) solution!
Earlier reputation comments have disappeared. Don't know why.
Thanks,

that's fine. i didn't say anything about your 'solution". the leather belt worked for me when i was a kid. the rep comments as they come in scroll down and get hidden as the list grows.

Congrats BR7. I am still very happy with my new AMD3700 machine although, I would have liked dual core but it was too expensive. Typically, the price of dual core has not gone down below to what I paid for the 3700.

are you mirroring to get rid of nero backup?

rebuilding a mirror can be very confusing, familiarize yourself with the process,
hopefully then you'll never have to do it.
