Subject: RE: Tech: Is it possible?
Sage, yes, I did. Or rather, my son did it for me. He uses memory sticks, just because I don't, and transferred it to my machine. He is on his third stick, and I am still using my original Zipdrive. A big difference in price, though. 125meg sticks are cheaper than Zipdisk media now.

Guest, I use eTrust virus killer, which is fully downloaded. First you download the engine, and then IT downloads the definitions. I had checked the Zipdisk before I started trying to fix my problem, and as I wasn't going to go on the web ANYWHERE without a viruskiller and firewall, I thought I was fairly safe using the disk, as it long predated my problems.
Wrong.
I did use Norton viruskiller once, but when I contracted Kakworm, Norton's specific Kakworm killer couldn't find it. I downloaded InoculateIt, which is the predecessor of eTrust, and that found it straight away. To coin a phrase, you pays your money and you takes your chances.
My main objection (besides price) to WXP is not being able to officially use it on both computers. I BUY the operating system, not hire it.    Chris
