Not much time for the newsgroups these days, David, and I tend to stay away
from the XP ones. Too crowded, hard to manage, just too chaotic, too many
posts. I spend most of my newsgroup time in the 95/98 groups. Much more fun!

Any chance you could post your URL for 'shutdown' problems, say every 2 =
hours - it will save having to post it a dozen times a day <VBG>. If =
not, perhaps MS could provide a guide on how to 'easily search news =
groups'.

Cop Out?

I don't see any of your same named peers adopting that attitude.

Oh dear - that is probably going to be your worst posting to date. ATM, =
I shall keep quiet, but if need be I shall repost rather more 'heavily'.

So?

It's not like we're cut out of a cookie cutter or some such thing. We're
just individual people who hang out on newsgroups and answer questions in
between the moments of the rest of our lives.

No Will, I left the Win98 groups a great while back. I didn't mean to leave
completely, but the XP groups needed help. Miss them though. :o(

As per your latter mention, I don't have the projected stats readily

Fun is where your heart is, Jim. :o) Win95 and Win98 is already covered by
many experts. XP needs more helping hands. If that would happen, then this
statement, could be modified?

But still not fair for you to be having all the fun, Jim. :o)

Tell ya what: You come work XP for three days and I will work Win98 for a
