I would recommend you to upgrade the tower to Linux I upgraded to the newest Linux now to be able to run J601 and it is so much easier now to install than Linux was and much easier than latest Windows installs
J601 runs great on the new Linux I upgraded to Suse 10 The install DVD - or 5 CDs - also allow you to shrink current Windows so you can continue using Windows It even gave the option to use an USB connect drive for the install 2006/3/24, Don Guinn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > As to dropping the dots after x., y. etc. is OK.
