I assure you, I am mortal, and foolish! The machine has had several different motherboards and processors, and before each OS upgrade, I cloned (Norton Ghost) the hard drive over to one with higher capacity. I did it just to see if I could.

The first flatbed scanner I purchased came with "Thomas Knoll's Photoshop, v0.79", which was two floppy discs (And yes, I still have those disks). Primative by today's standards. Who remembers when you had to select with the marquee too to zoom-in, and then had to remember to zoom-out, otherwise your photo would have this Picasso look to it. :-). Ahhh... Thems' was th' days... hehehe. > >Mark Lent
