Jane - I typed CPU because I was too lazy to type computer. When I was in University the first PCs were just coming out and we had one in the lab I worked in (story in itself). I had a computer major in the rooms to each side of me in residence. They told me not to worry about how a computer works, let them do that and they would make it easy for me to use. I'm still waiting. I think computers have something to do with zeros and ones, but I could be wrong (and I don't want to know). All I need is how to turn it on and how to dump stuff I don't want (eg AOL free trials that come with ALL software).
bob - I will try to download OS 8.6 this weekend (I need frustration in my life). I've learned that with downloading things like Sparkle and Netscape 7.whatever, that it helps to read the instructions (CPU...er, computer doesn't freeze as much).
Thanks for all the help, guys - Cam
