<br><tt><font size=2>Perfect! I'll give that a try soon, but it looks

<br><tt><font size=2>I'm relatively new to owning a laptop. Used
them for years at work but those were bungled with Windoze. Win7
lived all of about 5m on my Samsung before something worthwhile (F17) was
installed after which it immediately soared in value by a factor of nearly
infinity. :-)</font></tt>
