Marion, It's not too bad a learning curve, but one thing I would suggest that you get familiar with is the use of the Libraries, this can be a great time saver. Just in case you haven't thought about it, don't forget to copy your .usr files, as these contain all your settings etc. Mind you, when I updated my o/s I decided to have a 'spring clean' so didn't bother :-).

Having looked at 7 it's a lot different to XP so it could take a while for me to get my head around it all!
