On the other hand she does = not know anything about computers because when you say to her bring = mouse up to the screen and open a menu she will actually take her mouse = and put that on the screen........(smile). So don't want to make it more = confusing for her in adding a new OS. Sylvia. Why go backwards, talk her into installing ME. That is what I = have , soon I will have to go to XP. Don't want to , happy here. Longhorn is coming out next year , XP will be on the skids then.
