Ah, I see. Well, I gave MS my $40 for NT a long time ago (friend
was an employee then) so I forget that most people don't have it
laying around.

Those Libretto's are cool. I wish I could have taken the one from
my old office to my new office here at UT. I'm hoping a friend will
have something like that I can borrow for our trip to Europe next
year so I can copy digicam pics over to it. If not, I hope the
Panasonic digicam that's supposed to come out using the Superdisk is
good enough for my purposes.
Wow, running out of spare parts. I don't know if I ever will,
especially since I've called a moratorium on all donations to family
and friends unless it's an emergency. I used to let all my used
stuff trickle down. Then one year I had to build a completely new
PC from scratch, no spares. Yuck.
