...And I may be drifting as well: The reports we read of the problems that Vista and these "helpful" programs are causing computer users, I am more and more decided to buy a legitimate copy of XP off Ebay and then get myself the bits to put my own machine together. At least I'll get what I want and having, with some reluctance, been obliged to re-install XP on my current machine, I have tons more confidence to do it on a new one, be it a self-build or a cheap offer from somewhere from a supplier that recommends Windows Vista - don't they all!
P.P.
