I should be back soon with a long list of arrivals.

Hah. Back already. I have a lot of software installation to do; but all of
the good data was scraped off the old dead HD. I think I was lucky, 'cause
it made really bad noises when it finally died. Since I'd crashed only two
months earlier too, there really wasn't that much new stuff. It seems all
of the weirdness I'd been experiencing could well have been a result of a
progressive failure of the drive; but just the same, as long as I was
getting work done, I upgraded to XP Home & replaced the old 8 GB drive with
120 Gig.

As far as that long list of FS2004 package arrivals, well, I just plugged
this sucker in about an hour ago. I'll get to it soon (there's 8 of 'em).

Back in business,
Joe F.
