 DS> My desktop windows XP machine will boot from a CDROM.

Unfortunately, this thing didn't even come with a CD-ROM boot
disc, else I wouldn't have thought to ask about such issues.

   It does not

I checked the setup on it, and the first boot device is a CD/DVD
drive, the second a removable device, and only the third the HDD.
So every boot requires a system check for the optical and the
USB port before the actual boot. I was chicken to change this just
now, but unless someone hollers at me here not to do it, I will
in fact do so.

That would be fun. It would be good to see him and Georgia again.

I can't speak with any authority, but though that double bond
must be pretty strong, it can't last forever, otherwise the
stuff would stick around until the concentration was such as
to poison us all. I'd guess that solar energy eventually
pummels the stuff into submission.

It was the selection that was reasonable; the prices were by and
large not reasonable. I think that the under-$50 wines were in
the 3x retail range (which is not reasonable), but there were
several of these in enough wine categories so one would have a
reasonable chance of a decent pairing with all the foods.

The prices went into the 4 figures, which is what daunted our
Mr. Weller.

   Ice Box Cookies

   Ice box cookies are a boon for the busy person because they can be
  prepared in advance and stored in the freezer until needed. Just slice and
  bake when desired, and you have a great home made cookie.

   If you like, use whole wheat flour and add 1/2 cup ground peanuts to the
  dough.

   In a large bowl, cream the shortening and peanut butter, blending well.
  Add the honey, mixing it in thoroughly. Gradually blend in sugar. Beat in
  egg and vanilla.

   Sift together the flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir the
  dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Stir in the raisins, if using.
  Shape in a roll. Wrap in waxed paper and chill thoroughly.

   Preheat oven to 350F. Cut chilled dough into thin slices and bake on
  greased cookie sheets for 10-12 minutes.

  Yield: 4-5 dozen. Jacqueline E. Hamilton, Cooking Classics, Gaithersberg
