Your post reminded me of this link:

Substitute "****" for "snot" and I'll buy it.

There is a problem with reading files using XP from floppies and from CD's
made with certain programs running 98...XP has alot of issues that have yet
to be addressed...In hopes that you did not store the floppies near any
speakers or magnets for that would erase them and make them unusable...The
only thing I would suggest is going to the microsoft support page and keep
checking for information there...They send their software out too soon and
we all wind up testing it for them...It's a shame...I went back to 98SE
myself.
Good luck!

"lurker
n. One of the `silent majority' in a electronic forum;
one who posts occasionally or not at all but is known to read the
group's postings regularly. This term is not pejorative and indeed
is casually used reflexively: "Oh, I'm just lurking." Often used in
`the lurkers', the hypothetical audience for the group's
flamage-emitting regulars. When a lurker speaks up for the first
time, this is called `delurking'."

I hope I've educated you somewhat.

Mike is an ok dude. He ****s up sometimes but so what, we all do. Mike is
a "volume" poster. He likes to be the very first to reply to every post so
he often misreads them. Mike has no sympathy for anyone so that does rub
quite a few people the wrong way. My advice, just view Mike as a source of
very cheap entertainment, that's all he's really worth
