McMannis - Re: "Interesting they have found a way not to send copies of the software with the notebook...not even Win98. They send a restore disk and I think when you run it it decompresses a stored copy already on your HD. Or so it seems." My Sony laptop - bought in August, 1997 - came with an Application Recovery CD and a System Recovery CD - which sounds like what you are describing. It sounds like this is Microsoft's way of doing things - not the notebook makers. Fortunately, I have never had to use either CD on my Sony. Paul
