Thanks, Paul- as always, you are right again! Just bites that more folks aren't asked, "What IS an improvement for a computer system?" AND I'm learning more and more, since last time you tutored me! *grin* I will keep trying, and I WILL hang on to these machines- nothing wrong with them really that a little more RAM won't help!

Why is it, though, that we can't have a newer computer that will do "everything?!"
When a computer is finally created that does "everything", there will no longer be any use for man (other than maybe as a power source). ;-}
I guess when I think of "new," I think of improvement. I just don't find that . . . !
Having been in the field of Information Technology / Data Processing for around 35 years, I feel that not all new ideas and implementations are actually improvements. Microsoft is constantly making decisions on what they feel is best for the User (prime example is their Office Suite).
Even as a novice fractalist, I struggle to learn, and it seems the industry taunts me! I work in that industry every day! How can *I* fix this?!!
But when it comes to fractal generating software, that is one area that I enjoy seeing the majority of improvements (as long as it does not break backwards compatibility). ;-} Your only resolution at present is to have multiple machines. And is is always wise to have a good backup handy anyway.
