Larry, This list is exclusively to discuss all things related to G3 or G4-based Apple laptops. As such, I would ask you to not post questions relating to other machines. There is enough traffic like it is now that we don't need questions about other OSes. Further, you would probably get a more educated answer if you were posting your question to a dedicated Windows email list. Thank you. -Laurent.
