This WIN98 box takes almost 2 hours to record a regular data CD with about 650MB. It is very pokey. Until a month ago I didn't have a machine which could record a DVD. The stuff I download, especially purchased items, get recorded... but I'd still rather have hard copies of the programs. :chuckle: And you are right about where the stickie-notes go. I'll even label the bits sticking out. Carolly
