I wish they had some way to recover the data that was lost in my brain from yesterday or the day before. Wouldn't it be great if we could just log on to our brain, and scroll thru the data and erase the junk, and then organize the data into efficient packets or clusters of information? I wonder

You might look for a print icon. Otherwise try a screen print to copy into the scratch buffer by doing a cntl-alt-insert. Then open windows paint and try to do a 'paste'. If that doesnt work - open a DOS session - (run 'command.com') - go to the C:\ prompt and type format C: /s -WaV On Thu, May

Don, Why the /s after the format command? Having formatted the drive why would you want to leave a operating system in place? Why not boot on an old floppy with Win 95 and do the FDISK command? Then delete the active and DOS partitions!!! I guess either one would cause havoc. :) Bill
