Warren,
I have WinXP Home on one computer and Pro on the other. It is my continual trying to duplicate problems others have on the one computer that keeps me having to reload it every 6 to 8 months. Also testing all of the free programs that I decide to look at as some of them aren't the best. I keep my disk clean and have 4 icons in the Notification area and 4 on the desktop. Like my car, if I would just quit messing around the computer would never have a problem. As for my slide rule, I had one that was designed for electronics and computers and I haven't been able to find it for years. And my first T.I. Calculator cost over $200 dollars as well. Amazing at how the prices drop when things get on the market isn't it. I now have a T.I. calculator that does all the conversions from octal, hex, and binary. It also will draw graphs and do geometry and Trig, and about anything a computer will do and I think I gave about $150 for it years ago. I don't even know how to use all the functions and it has 9 separate memories to store whatever you are doing in.
