That pathetic piece of shit doesn't even know if it can't my favorite is 'Abort, Retry, or Fail'. since 1986, it's almost always takes me a few keystrokes to get by that one ... ;) (hehe - do i want it to Abort or Fail ???) nuff said. thanks. -- why is it when i HAVE to use windows, the first thing i do is open a DOS box?
