Just a timely nudge to the few still running Widows and there are quite a few (I still run Windows on my Lap top) if you have a crash and do not have a full back up CD you will have problems.
I believe support for service pack 3 and up is still available.

Bill, I think you are right but a full back up CD would be prudent for users.
Colin - what's the SW club??
Sorry David but I would have to kill you if I told, suffice it to say it is a very exclusive club and membership is by invitation only. sorry.
I hope they won't have to kill you for revealing to us that you are a member.

This whole software business is a constant effort to revise and come up with something just slightly new, that keeps the bottom line flowing. Microsoft was on federal trial a few years ago, but they got off the hook. You know what they say about money and justice.
As an amateur photographer, I have Adobe Elements. So far I have bought three versions of it. Every time I buy one, it isn't long before a "new" version comes along -- they are currently on version #8, or were last I heard. Even the photo magazines said the #8 was very little different from #7, so don't bother.
And of course, nearly all of the software programs for computers have a "subscription" system, and you have to "renew" it every year. They don't leave anyone in the dark about what they they are out for --- $$$.
I manage to get along mstly on free appications, Open Office instead of Microsloth; for photographic work The GIMP and Picasa do most things, Audacity for audio editing, surprising what you can find if you search around, being on a pension sure is an incentive to look out the freeware.
Cheers MIKE.

Me as well, 99% programs I use are free, and loving it.

Collin thanks for the link. I still use XPPro, mainly because I have it networked at the office. Just got my youngest daughter a new laptop with Seven installed and will be interested to try it out. I agree there is a lot of freeware out there if you look around. i use several programs myself. Biggest problem I find is companies rushing software out before it works properly (Vista?) and then havining to reissue or patch.

I use Vista and had a few problems same as with the present IE, I hope the new version of IE works better. The thing I hate is when a program tries to become the preferred program when this happens I just un-install but it is a pain.
