Francisco, >> I bet it bugs you enough to ponder, WHAT THE HECK is causing that! :D << Oh, you bet. Doing decimal-to-hex conversions is all I want it for; thank goodness I don't have to operate the calculator with the mouse. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, and Esc all work just dandy. And I've gotten used to visualising Windows screens what with all the help I supply to people over the phone! >> it was good for my pc << A therapeutic re-installation, eh? >> btw, w/ you AV subscription, yes you CAN transfer it, but you MUST uninstall it from the original 'puter in order to be within the guidelines of the EULA. << That's a relief to know that. I was wondering whether I had to contact Symantec to finalize the subscription transfer since I have no idea how they're monitoring the remaining AV subscription. >> that's another reason I hate all this new activation software... << Sometimes I just revel in the use of my PCs; other times I wonder why I even bother since the number of annoyances increases over time. And with my clients having PCs with various operating systems, I find I have to carry around a lot of excess baggage in the form of PC knowledge that I wish I could just forget. I even have a DOS client who just won't budge, though I've gotten Windows installed on about half of his computers, too. Thanks for being such a good sport considering my rant yesterday.
