Sounds like you need to update the Laptop also.  I just got a new E
Machines unit that really cooks!  ;-)  1999 vintage, sounds like the
computer was ready for replacement anyway. ;-)

Marc -

I am not the only one who uses "my" computer.  My daughter and husband were

still here.  Laura uses my computer because it has a fast internet hook-up
and she needs it to do research for her classes.  My husband uses it for
his business e-mail when he is home.  The computer was hooked up to a big
APC battery back-up and the lightning got that, too.

I'm getting a newer, faster, bigger computer to replace my fried 1999 model

so everything should be fine next week.  In the meantime, I'm trying to
work on the laptop and it's driving me crazy.  I left it running all night
(working!!) and it only managed to convert 100 of the thousands of RAW
photos I took in Honduras.  I'm developing film today, but can't hook the
scanner up to the laptop so that will have to wait, too.
