   I just copied it to the linux machine where it will be safe forever :-)  The   
   less printing I have to do the happier I am.

   I know.  I'm just indicating that I know how to make dates properly sortable.   
   Still haven't used ERUNT, BTW.  Sometimes forcing myself to do something new is   
   HARD.

   I'm probably just paranoid and like to know what's going to happen before it   
   actually happens.

   The config data SHOULD be stuffed in with the program, but it generally isn't.   
   When I said 'data files' I meant that documents, pictures, spreadsheets, etc.   
   should each be in a different subdirectory, preferably directly off the c:\   
   drive.

   Hasn't it ALWAYS (except for maybe one or a few years) been in debt?  It's just   
   the size and the fact that the great unwashed don't seem to worry about it...   
   I pay my bills on time, spend wisely and do not feed at the public trough.  So   
   why ain't I rich?

   I deal ONLY in specifics.  If I were better able to generalize I'd be... a   
   general :-(

   I can print from either my linux or my windows machine.  LILC has found that   
   letting me print whatever he wants printed is the easiest way for him to do it   
   and produces better results. There's a reason I take the trouble to tidy up   
   posts, I'm just not quite sure what it is.  FWIW, Samsung is actually   
   linux-friendly.   
      
   On a different subject, I went to a 4th of July party at a friend's kid's house   
   yesterday and today I splurged on the Best Buy Acer 23" LCD monitor.  LILC took   
   my "old" Envision 21" LCD, which was roughly the same price two years ago. Life   
   is good.
