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.
