Could someone pls. direct me to that leak... I've searched for it for the last 2 years & I can't find anything that match your description... I think your OS is incompatible with FireFox... and it is probably done on purpose. ...but then again, I do only use FireFox on W2K, SuSE and OS X.

...so... pls. explain to us how do we get our brand new installation of Win XP updated WITHOUT connecting it to the Internet PWS (Personal Web Server) is a scaled down IIS.
I honestly belive that it would be no worse than when I upgraded her from WfW 3.11 to Win 95 or from Win 95 to NT4. The W95 to NT4 was especially hard because I introduced "User mode" to her. You are right, there are many more people that can help with Windows problems but usually old Martha is calling me anyway. She is btw. using a iBook now... "it was so nice, I couldn't resist it" she told me.:-)
We usually have more support caused by old Martha installing funny things on her Windows (and running as Admin, because it is easier) than we would ever have if old Martha was running Linux (or Mac OS X).
...yell about how expensive a change to Linux would be ? They mentioned that there would be a massive need for education of useres and rewriting of applications ? I just imagined the new title "Microsoft says that a change to Linux would create at least 50,000 jobs in Europe, 50,000 in the United States and another 200,000 in the rest of the world." I hope some politicians from around the world sees this... Al Gore, where are you when the world need you ?
UPS... I have forgotten them... and they need a younger brother... I do not want to run OS X, I have a PowerBook for that... I was thinking 'bout running Linux on the Power ThinkPad.
"...slightly worried because I'm not sure how lenovo build quality compares to ibm..." Lenovo build quality sucks... We've got T43's from before the shift and after the shift and the build quality on those after the shift are poorer. I'll wait until I see some good stuff from Lenovo (or until IBM makes a PowerPad).
That is 'cause some older drives were build to be mounted in a specific direction. When new they usually didn't have any problem but after some time (usually 2 - 3 years) they bagan to behave like this. It has something to do with bearings and lubrication of them.
