Yes. I'm quite a bid ahead of myself here. Didn't want to miss any days.
My computer's down at home, so I'm clicking away while I've got 1. Hopefully it'll be up & running next week, if I can grab a friend to help me. So much for Dell 24/7 service! The wkend is the only time I can give to getting it running & the dept that I need to walk me thru backing up my files is only available M-F!
