Ah, yes. Thank you very muchly. This thread did indeed go a long 
way toward answering some of my questions about this --- weird --- 
phenomenon. Looks like it it a windows thing, afterall (big 
surprise). Eventually, in the far flung reaches of what we currently 
know as the future, I'll be upgrading the whole kit and kaboodle 
(what IS a kaboodle, anyway?) and my current machine will become an 
exploration box so I have something to experiment on (hardware and 
softwarewise) without risking my prime machine. I think I just 
added "check out Linux" to my computer's list of things to do when 
it's retired<g>. In the  meantime, guess I'll just have to max out 
my memory & learn to stop gritting my teeth to the sound of hard
drive thrashing... :\
