Dave.

Windows Media Center OS, looks just like the set-up that I have at the 
moment on XP Home?  That's fantastic.  For some reason I thought that it 
looked like a different animal entirely.  Well if this is the case, then all 
I would really need to learning is WindowEyes.  Yes Dave, I think my mind is 
made up now.  I'll install the WE Demo and start on the Tutorial this 
evening.

Best wishes.
Andy
