good news Frank.
Dr. Kevorkian was released from prison on Friday, your wait is over.

btw, I took the liberty of scheduling you an appointment - 10am Weds. OK?

I understand!
But for those that want to use both systems, I'm simply giving them another
option to the Dual Boot concept on a single harddrive (which can cause all
sorts of issues).

johnboy, your recent interest in the prison release of Dr. Death is
cause for concern amongst all of us. Before taking that final step you
should seek some kind of help. Or maybe give up those horrid drugs it's
been alleged you've been taking?
Anyway, it's a drastic step but, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Frank

Oh, what about the pic I promised you?
I'll donate it in your name ok?

Is this what the Vista newsgroups have become?!

Yuck.
