Ok, thanks David.  I've not had a lot of time to mess with it today, I took 
the lappy up to Circuit City, and their guy had it browsing aol under an XP 
boot in about 2 minutes, so I guess the radio is at least ok under XP.  Then 
I saw a dermatologist & came away with two holes in my hide, and some of her 
stitches are leaking now.  I may have too much aspirin in my system, so I'll 
skip it tonight.
