Lordoftenbroke, I have found that USB's "Plug and Play" works differently in XP than it did in W98, and maybe WinME. You need to...
Hi, thanks for the input. Actually I probably am going to install a flavor of Linux on one of my computers and possibly learn some of it, but only as a hobby, or maybe a way to immerse myself in something. If I had plans to go back into computer programming, then I would be more committed.
Learning Unix though seems sort of like learning Japanese -- a lifetime pursuit (at least in writing and understanding the Kanji -- Japanese itself is an easy to pronounce language that is very regular in its grammatical rules, much easier to learn than English).
When I tried to start learning Unix a while ago, I got paralyzed before I even started -- which "shell" should I learn ... I don't remember except they had names like Korn, Bourne, and CSH? And then I did some Java programming on my home Linux machine, but it was hard to set up a lot of the enviornment (like Ant). I remember having to do something to get around security (sd?), and environment variables blah blah blah.
ric I could care less about thunder Ric. I am glad the guy got his problem fixed, but other than that, I have no vested interest in being acknowledged for any advice I gave...
Right now I am between careers (or more accurately, in a "twilight zone" experience). I used to love programming computers because I didn't have to deal with people. Now I hate programming computers because it's a solitary task (in many ways) or it's a task which demands great discipline and attention (like when getting user requirements during systems analysis, or understanding the data for data analyst work). Because dealing with people as an analyst requires a lot of concentration in an analytical way, it's not the same as relating to people in what I would consider more satisfying (more casual conversation...).

A big part of me wants to become a social worker (hmm, maybe I'm going from one extreme to another), but I asked about 10 social workers about it and all of them said "NOOOO, run like the wind, do NOT go into social work!".
For now though I am enjoying watching the craziness of corporate downsizing, midsizing, rightsizing, and WRONG-sizing from the sidelines, and letting other people swim with the sharks :-)
Two things to do: First, make sure you have upgraded the router's firmware to the latest version. Even if it works fine with other hardware, a...
Ah yes, one of my "thanks for sharing" digressions lol ...
