Have a safe and wonderful trip! Don't forget your camera! and take lots of pictures! you can put some in yahoo when you get back! Make sure some have you in them!! <grin> Glad Dell came though for you! What a pain! but a relief that it's all running now. I'm going to have to check out that program you mention - Why do you put them on the computer ? Enjoy!!

I was a bit quiet in Scottsdale this trip - my new Dell XPS computer had a HD failure the night I arrived. It's up and running again with two new HDs courtesy of Dell <G> In a way, it's a good thing as I reloaded WinXP and all the updates, but none of the junk that always comes on new computers (Dell, HP, etc.). To get some of my favorite CDs back on the computer, I downloaded a copy of Audiograbber. I used this program back when it was shareware, now it's freeware. Nice program, runs perfectly and makes copying CDs to the computer as MP3s a dream! http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/ Play nice kids.....I'll be back in a couple of weeks!
