Hi, new friends.

I am using the pseudonym of Rasputin Paskudniak. There is a small group of friends who know my true name but I doubt they are on this forum.

I bought my second PC in Dec. 1999, running Windows-98 with a 28GB drive, 128MB memory and two USB ports. Next to top of the line at the time, half the price of top-of-the line.

(I just had to use that wild smiley!)

About 3 years ago, I replaced the 28GB drive with a 200GB drive and installed XP. Funny behavior: Boot drive came up as F:, not C:. Dell techs could not figure our what was wrong but I've kinda adjusted. My first post will deal with this drive.

I rejected Norton Internet Security when it was unable to install to F: It required some funny business to fake out a C: drive to complete the install. This means it was hard-coded to use drive C for temp files - a programming error a first-year programming student would not make. The following year, I downloaded & installed BitDefender. (No I'm not happy with that either but it certainly does protect me.)

OK, so now y'all know I can be a trifle long-winded. (A tendency toward sesquepedalian expression as well, but that's usually done in fun.)

See y'all in the forums.
