I just bought it on impulse. I hope it will run You-Tube       because that is what I bought it for mainly, also probably need       a PDF viewer. Hopefully some apps will support it still, that old eh?!       Next time I think I'll have to do some research before buying these       things. Well I'm glad the laptop I bought was quite old because it       still has a nice keyboard and built-in DVD.              > > Of course I read the complete description AFTER I purchased       > > the thing.

Well, I'm getting the tablet next week so       I'll investigate it then. I actually have a 1Tb flash drive but it only       works on my latest laptop in Windows 10. Other than that only a 32Gb one.              > But to stay on topic:       >              [snipped program]              Okay, I'll see if I can run this... not tried any Windows NT batch       programming yet, I'd have to print off the help pages first really.              SeeYouSoon       Lori              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
