==================

    Hello Charles, nice talking to you !  

 CS> Here's an idea that you might want to consider:
 CS> Keep a fairly good size external USB 2.0 HDD with you when you travel
 CS> from Montreal to Florida.  On it, store images of your Thinkpads that
 CS> you take along or any other machine you have with you.  It's easy
 CS> enough to do now that you have True Image 9.  Just make sure you take
 CS> along the bootable recovery CD.

        This is exactly the protection that I was sure I had. It
   failed me or vice-versa. I could not reverse the image, I then
   installed that image CD into the Thinkpad and it worked but barely.
   It was sluggish and had changed all the saved profiles.

 CS> If you use True Image and keep up with making backup images often
 CS> enough, there's no need for recovery CD sets from IBM or anyone else. 
 CS> Isn't that why you bought True Image?
 
        I had two of them, one dated last day in 2005 and one 15 days
   after. The process of making the images was very smooth and fast
   too compared to R&R from IBM, 18 minutes.

 JP>          When I think that I got into this mess because ZA would not
 JP>     install. I have redone the other three TPs and now they will accept
 JP>     ZA but still no O2K.

        I am sure now that the O2K CD is getting bad. The messages
   that I keep getting on trying to install it, are getting worse and
   worse. This dates to last Spring when it first hiccuped and I had
   to move some files from one system to it before it would complete
   the install but then it worked fine.

 CS> As for Office 2K - are you using it to print checks?  How would you do
 CS> that?  I know that MS Money or Quicken can print checks but didn't
 CS> know it could be done with Word or Excel.

        This is the reason why I would like to get Office, specially
   Word loaded again. I was able after a learning curve not that
   steep, to get a format saved that had line spacing changed to
   different point size ( in 72 points ) so that it would print on the
   proper spaces of the cheques that I use, both Canadian and Merikan.
   I saved both forms.doc and all I have to do now is to over-write
   the date and the other lines with a highlight and a retype. To feed
   it into the printer, I use a very small dab of Glue-Stick to keep
   it properly aligned to the upper-left corner of a 8.5 x 11 page.

                        Voil… !  Rustic but it works for me.
     
       
   It is sure nice having some backup system.
             I am on one now.  Test : 1  2  3
