Hi Mark,

<< and a very appropriate dylan quote to boot, no pun intended. >>


That was a great pun, intended or not! LOL!

<< i'm assuming you have successfully installed netscape communicator4.76 and are using the messenger email client?>>

Yes, I am using Netscape Communicator 4.76. I love the email and the browser. I will try the IE browser more when I relax a bit more. Too many changes for now.

<< are you running window's service pack 1? do you have 128-bit encryption? >>

Mark, I am sorry to say I don't know what you are talking about here. I do think I have 128-bit encryption.

<< what are your thoughts on the differences so far between w95 and w2k? it wasn't all that different to migrate to, was it? >>

It has all worked like a charm. The main thing that is taking a while to adjust to is the Program Manager (uh oh, dating myself there)... I mean Explore. It is still very awkward for me.

By the way, my "plan" changed. A friend of mine (she is the head of customer support at a software company) came over and removed the hard drive from my old PC and put it in my new PC as a "slave." I am now in the process of moving all my data files to the new hard drive where I have space out the wazoo! Yippee! When I have completed this she will remove the extra hard drive and return it to my old PC. Then she will reformat the hard drive, install WIN98 and Microsoft Office on the old machine. I will then have a clean DELL Pentium II with all the bells and whistles that I can give my nephew who is starting college in the Fall.

One thing that is new to me is that when I boot up I don't see any of those "black" screens where it says what it is doing. I just see a little Windows 2000 Professional window... frankly, I like this since I just want everything to be magic and not require me to know a lot. ;-)

Everyone on this thread is a Saint!
