Tom:
It was purchased for my wife, who is working on her Ph.D., so I haven't
used it much after setting it up.
Questions:
How do I get the NT interface?
How do I turn off all of the $#%** pop-up balloons?
I tried using Outlook last night, and never did figure out how to add a
contact to the list (other than typing it in ...)
My printer (HP P-1100) wasn't recognized by XP. I had to download 23 MB
of files from the HP website. Never did recognize the printer through
the parallel port ( yes, IEEE 1284 cable), but it did eventually find
it when I connected through the USB port.
And so on.
