It won't be seen on any of my machines based on my one and only foray into the supposed advantages of Windows 7 in a new Dell laptop which is fast becoming one of the most frustrating combinations I've encountered (I start at TRS80 model 1 with a cassette data storage )

I know my way around XP pretty well by now and I'm reasonably confident and competent in getting it to do what I require. However Windows 7 seems to be some kind of sad game where almost everything has been changed for no obvious reason, and it seems to be damn near impossible to do anything like configuring a modem or a network without unlearning everything picked up over the past 30 years and starting again. Far easier to grab an XP laptop and get the job done.

Bah! Humbug! When M$ finally cease their support for XP, I'll probably go either Linux or Apple (perish the thought)
