Hey thanks for all the useful sites and info, which I can see is going to take me awhile to sort through. Thank God I'm happily retired; pardon me...didn't mean to show off. Thom

First of all, how do I reply directly to the person who gave me the valuable info. in the first place. And then I'm curious about backing up/restoring. First whats the difference...and where do you put your backup? And where do I find the backup in Vista? Why do you back up Windows every day...

I have Vista home premium and wanted to know if there was an actual tutorial loaded with it, I've heard it was but what I see is an extensive help file. Is that the tutorial I keep hearing about cause Welcome to Vista doesnt' give much information. Thanks, Thom

About the sleep function in Vista, I have put it to sleep a few times and it wouldn't shut off, the keyboard wouldn't work so I had to power down with the start button. I don't want to do this, so is there a way to set the sleep thing so it does just what you want it to do. Go to sleep and wake...

I was just reading about you wanting to shrink drives? I just switched from Me to Vista a week ago, so I'm learning alot. But have many questions. Why do you partition a hard drive? I have 100 Gigs of hard drive, is there any benefit to creating another drive? And how do I do it? Thanks, Thom

Hi Ed. We spoke awhile ago about some programs and a dos disk (on 720K disks) for an antique portable computer. You said you had some software and I wanted to find out how to get it? Thanks, Thom

Hello again Ed. You said to get the info from your profile, but I don't follow you. You said you had some old Dos programs on 720K disks. I would like to get my hands on some of them. What's next? Thom

I need the Dos disk itself (I don't know if it will handle 4.01, I used an eaarlier...

Hi, I'm new to Vista and want to know why everyone else in the world seems to be avoiding it? And what kind of things should a brand new user to Vista know about? I've been using computers for 20 yrs. so I'm not that new. Thom

I've been hearing that about Vista from others, unfortunately it came with the comp I bought recently. But Windows 7 is on its way, maybe that'll be an improvement. (fat chance, thanks microsoft) Thom

Wow...a treasure trove of information. Thanks Ed. I'll check into that stuff and will be in touch with you periodically about this/other items, if ya don't mind? I'm just learning computers (I've been using them since 1989) and have alot of questions. Where is the place to go for Vista...

Thanks Ed. I've thought about the museum thing; I wondered if this thing could be worth money somewhere, being such a rare item. Just wondering. But I wanted to have software for it again, so I could give some demonstrations to kids to show them what we had back then.I don't even know if the...
