Thank you all for the warm wishes on my birthday, April 27th. Sorry I was not around for a few days to thank you earlier. Wow! 57 this time around. Am I going downhill yet, or still uphill. I think uphill. That would explain why I'm usually tired (ha ha ha). Thanks again, Rich

As Iccaros stated, Verizon told me three times to uninstall SP2. I first installed it from the CD sent by M$.

I had a lot of trouble setting up my network. I am using a Linksys BEFW11S4 router and at the time I had a D-Link PCI card in my daughters computer upstairs.

Thanks Il_wiccan for another great tip. Years ago, I used to go out every July, and purchase a 5th for the 4th on the 3rd. I thought this was prefetching. haha Computer seems to start up faster, although I have not timed it. thanks again, Rich

Thats the best news I have heard on the board since TK getting released and doing OK. Keep it up, go for it. Good luck. Rich

rgarg113 for me and my wifes initials, Rich G. and Ruth G., with home addy of 113. Picked it back in 94, when AOL was refusing anything it did not like, kept throwing names and inititals out, just hit on this, and have stuck with it since. Lost AOHell after a year, and do not miss them. With Verizon DSL now, and love it. Also loving this board. Thanks B., and thanks for those who have migrated here from G4techtv also. Rich
