Yes, install WIndows, get all updates install all programs. Next six months, 
put old image on and your only 6 months behind in programs. Update and create a 
new image again for 6 month later.

Thank you,

  I have a 250GB hd and it is about 50% full. I like to redo my HD about every 
6 mths and it is a pain to reinstall all the software. I load about 25 
programs, and then must do all the update stuff again, a BIG pain on dialup. So 
would True Image work for me?

    Don't Know Chuck, I only tried it once.  I didn't read any limitations 
other than trial period (15 days).  I assume it must be useable more than once 
in case things didn't work properly the first time..  Version 10 may not work 
with w98.  thought I read something about that.  Other than that it was the 
most user friendly application I have used and believe me I need "user 
friendly" because I don't take time to read instructions :-)

        Ray, I had never attempted it before, but I downloaded a trial copy of 
" used that.
        (norton products don't agree with me).  From installation to completion 
of transfer took only 12 minutes.  What I did was copy a 30 gig drive that was 
almost full to a 120gig empy drive.  Then changed the jumpers to reverse the 
master and slave config.  I copied everything and is working perfectly.  I 
liked the program so much that I bought it on ebay for future use.

          I dont know if I asked about this before or not, but here goes 
anyways:

          I know Norton Ghost allows you to image a PC, then essentially 
re-load your computer from scratch in almost 1/10th of the time (in my case 
anyways).

          The only thing is: I've used GHOST to reload the OS with Work, but 
would like to learn how to do it for my home PC & my notebook.

          Any help is appreciated, as always. :)
