Hi Rob : OK , thanks for the response . Odd , but more sad than odd , really . It's 2008 and still these kinds of blood-sucking events are occuring at an even pace . Of course part of the blame is fully on MicroSoft , but so what ? Gates is worth dozens of billions , but his corporations still seems very , very shabby .(to me , anyway) Continual bugs Continual security breaches Vista sucks Still haven't seen an MS OS that beats a 15 year old Amiga OS Remember that long battle where Apple sued MicroSoft for stealing it's whole GUI concept ? http://tinyurl.com/ynu6on Then MS landed in USA federal court over unfair practice and anti-trust ? Gee , MS shutout - shut down other S/W vendors ? http://tinyurl.com/2t2a2q Both times MS escaped by the skin of their teeth , but with billions to throw around , how surprising is that ? Milk the sheep . whatever ... garry > Reported here a month ago that V6 would not install on my new XPSP1 computer > and was giving error messages .
