I like to hear about you 'front line' experiences, David Kaye!

I'm no computer buff at all - I'll be flattening my laptop shortly and
starting afresh - I find it quite quick to do now! I've all necessary
items on CD's, even SP1, 2 and 3 + Retail copy of XP home.

Dustin can be really helpful when he has a mind so to do! ;-)
