My dear wife offered to buy me the Plastic covered sheet XP instruction sheet at Staples or Office Depot and/or the XP for Dummies.

Backing data up on a CD requires some thinking. But once I do it correct re the setup, I can back up about 10 years of Check Free in about 1 minute.
When it gets too hot to fish, I will invest some time in re scanning pictures and the picture thing, which I have avoided until now. I prefer to carry pictures of my Grandkids around to show and bore others with. It is hard to carry the HP around and find a socket to plug into and balance the monitor to show off pictures of my grandkids.
