Hello David - 

CA>> I believe you do but that's not what the rest of the world

DD>>> We also don't use/have Partition Magic (although I have
DD>>> fiddled with GNU PartEd - which booted from a Linux/Minix
DD>>> floppy) 

CA>> I thought you said you and the wife _had_ no floppies? ;-) 

DD> It was many moons ago... 

Did she have to wear a patch for awhile or was she hypnotized
to break the habit? 

DD>>>>> Files are moved via networks, or those little USB
DD>>>>> memory drive thingies. 

CA>> No person I know in the real world has a working intranet
CA>> in their homes and no one I know in the real world owns
CA>> one of those "little USB memory drive thingies". 

DD> Intranet? Computers have been sold with LAN cards for quite

DD> for less than AUS$30.00) How do you share you Internet feed
DD> between machines in the home? 

Last time I checked I was connected to a router that was
connected to the broadband 'modem'. How do you share your
internet feed? 

DD> I'm not sure that I'd call a simple peer to peer home LAN

Let's not go there - long story. 

DD> Nearly everyone I know here with a computer owns one of
DD> those USB memory drive thingies - perhaps technology here
DD> is cheaper than I thought... 

Possibly. CDs are quite inexpensive here. The 'thingies' at
dollar(s) per meg seemed less than a bargain to me. When/if
they get a 512meg'r down to say $10 I will reconsider - maybe.
