Subject: I.FTP Have you used it?
Hello:
I just found this what looks like a liffle gem of a program. I have
been looking for this for a while. Just a small FTP Program that will
run from a flash drive and not create any reg keys.
I was wanting this so when I am not home and need to fix a website for
one of my clients I can do it from anywhere without having to install
an FTP Program.
Just wondering if anyone has tried it out and found any major flaws? I
tested today on a test machine and it seems fine.
Thanks
Vince

I think both Hibernate and Standby are features of XP, and not
hardware-dependent. But I could be wrong :). You can verify from this MS

I do have another question, though. This guy didn't like my 'screen saver'
settings, where I had my hard disk turn off after a certain length of time.
He said it's hard on the drive (no pun intended) and that I should just let
the thing keep running. I usually turn my computer on in the morning, then
check email, etc. I leave it on, then check back every hour or so for new
emails, etc. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Subject: Re: Windows ME
Thanks for the reply, Wyatt. Of course now getting a new tech is water
under the bridge (as they say), since he already came and put in a new power
supply. I've never had to use any outside help to 'fix' any problems I had.
I've owned computers since 1989 and have been able to change or add hard
drives, add memory, add a tape drive, etc. This time it was something I
thought was over my head, and I figured I needed an "expert." I definitely
won't call on this guy again. I don't know if you've read other notes in
this thread, but he really upset me when he went into my settings and
started randomly changing my screen saver power saving settings without
consulting me. As soon as he left, I changed them back.
Thanks again.
Peter

No, you can protect ME - it's just harder, because it's based on the 9x
architecture and has just too many avenues for viruses to approach. I'd
bet on the power supply. Every time I ever heard that pop, that's what
it was.
Maybe look for another tech. I dislike ME greatly, but I'll work on it.
I hate OE, but I work on that too. I don't work on 95 anymore, but
only because it's pointless.

That may be true, but I have a desktop, and thus I don't think Hibernate is
