I am in similar position, though not all are MS. But that will cloud the issue
at this stage.

It's only a machine, and as such is getting masochistic pleasure from its lack
of sensation from your onslaught - but is only a machine - so it can't :)

Well 'netscape & firestarter' does work. They load in the correct order and
