I applied the M$ patches to my wife's WinXP machine, and nothing has happened to it. I'm not getting any garbage in her mail account or mine, so the upstream locations must be filtering it out. Just an aside. I have a love/hate relationship with M$. They've put some really nice features into WinXP. I just discovered tonight that they have a standard built in function to create cdroms. You just click on a file, select copy to cd rom, repeat ad nauseam, and the entries to be copied get noted in an internal CD-R directory (you can't find it anywhere). When you have all your entries noted, you click on the icon for your CD writer, insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW, and it will prompt you through burning a CD. Pretty slick. Too bad nice functionality like this is built on top of an absolute garbage operating system. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/general
