Ted,
I have wondered about that myself; Microsoft seems to be using subtle ways
to prepare folks for their service side OS whihc I have read about; it took
me half a year to discover, that all the Office Software I had orderd (ten)
were really on the computer, but I wanted to open each one of the ten
software instead of just a new page and let XP decide which one to bring up;
I learned slowly by myself; now I know. But Backup? Unfortunately, since the
system worked for an entire year and I trusted my laptop so much, I failed to
learn backup with the new system bought for me. In School, I did it a lot; in
real life, I failed on that point.
thanks anyhow everybody,
maynardes
