Thanks for the input. You are right Don, it is a Windows application. I
misspoke on that. It gives you an option of booting into windows or presto.
on Monday I downloaded and installed a beta version. The first boot to it
took a long time, which they say normal. The second time I booted to it, it
was up in less than 8 seconds. After about 2 min. I got a message saying
that this was an expired version and would shut down it 3 minutes.
Uninstalled with no effect, that I noticed, on windows.
I'm going to play with it for a couple 3 days and I'll post what I think
about it.
