Reading is definately the key. I've received some help from people in the news groups, also, which is greatly appreciated. I look forward to the day I can help someone else. Although I still think the GUIs are alittle flakey the OS does seem to be pretty stable. Maybe some day I will be able to fix the problems instead of just complaining about them. To be honest...my opinion...nothing is flakier that Win9x :o) Thanks again for your help (I read you're other posts too). Good advice; thanks.
