LOL! John, Gustav may have a point. I hate copying something in Vista, it is supposed to be easier, but it it does some weird things. I've lost files that I cut and pasted. Probably my fault, but I never had a loss occur that I didn't know about 1/2 second after pressing ok on XP, W2K or anything earlier. I hate cut & pasting something and if the file has focus (the only way to describe it) I will get an error saying that the file cannot be copied because it is in use. Of course it is in use! I click on it and pressed CTRL+X then switched to the other window and pressed CTRL+V!!! Write your own! ;) On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 2:21 PM, Gustav Brock <gustav at cactus.dk> wrote: > Hi John > > Buy a Mac! > > /gustav > > >>>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 01-11-2010 19:08 >>> > It's not a matter of what I can do but rather what I want to do.
