BTW Win 7 has updated notepad etc (Some basic O/S tools) updated to look like Office 2007, with the bars.

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

Every Windows up until 95 was fairly horrible as it used to gobble your memory and leave nothing for anything else. We used to frown on anyone doing anything in Windows, I remember saying "if you can't use DOS you shouldn't be allowed near a PC!" On more than one occasion. By the time you'd loaded Smartdrv and all of the other assorted drivers at boot you were down from 8 megs to 6, and then Windows would eat another 4, leaving your uber-power 8 meg PC with 2 megs of RAM to play with.

Those were the dark days of home computing. :lol:
