Seems like every new machine MUST have some sort of flaw to correct, doesn't
it--on the clone side, I mean!

There have been 'a few' improvements, speed and otherwise, since the old
Amigas raised the platform about 10 floors.  ;-)

Thanks for the offer, but I don't have any Zip drives.  Is it equally
convenient to put on a CD?  The Zips are handy but not having need of that
size storage I simply haven't acquired one.

Do have card readers and a 256meg card.  Not currently using the Nikon
folder system due to flaky computer reactions with things USB, but should be
able to transfer the data from a CD to the card without problems.  It is
pretty fast and usually the machine will stay up longer than that transfer
would require.

Will delay action until the new machine is ready and let you know, if that
is satisfactory.  Thank you for the help!
