Good point. I've had a little bit of an introduction to Vista and it
certainly has it's good points.

That's good to hear. If Agent 1.93 works, I imagine a lot more than I
think will work.

Reminds me of the Sansui 9090DB purchased at Clark AFB in the Phillipines in
1970 or 71. It was built like a tank. Sorry I ever sold it. They are
occasionally available on eBay for a small fortune.

Since Agent 1.93 does not screw with the registry, you are safe. I
just copied from drive C:\ under xp to the same location on C:\ on
vista.

There was an exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (very cool place)
a few years ago and there were a bunch of Trabants hung from the
ceiling.

Ahhh, that's why. Just another reason to like Agent.

I like my XPS 410 -- also one of the Core 2 Duos with 4M cache. I
upgraded it with 3 more internal hard drives. Included 7.1 sound is
more than I'd ever need -- I output to THX quality 2.1 speakers
anyway. The system has been trouble free, I like the case, and it's
quiet.
