These are HP-Kayaks and will probably outlive me! I was asking also about my Dell, which is ordinarily very fast; an outstanding computer and I want to stick with it. Sometimes it gets into a mode where it is super slow. Do you, or anybody else have a clue why?? Also:: would a simple Matrox Millennium serve as a new video board? I do not need/want anything gamer-fancy, so am looking for something simple, like a MM with 8 or 16megs of video memory. gary > Erich -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
