Pageone,

That's interesting to hear. It's mostly the registry detritus that gets me. No matter what, my Win2K machine will not stream audio, not with any app on the market (Real, QT, Win Media Player). It used to, it will still play audio from the HD but not streaming, and my WinXP machine on the same hub will stream audio, so it's probably something in the registry innards that SystemWorks 2003 will not fix. I have to say that after my experience with SW, I'm loathe to drop the money to "crossgrade". The prospect of spending days reinstalling/resetting all the applications, updates, service packs, mozilla extensions, user settings and so on gives me the willies. So I just live with no streaming audio in the one machine.

Varya,

I don't want to get off on recycling because I could go forever on that, but in answer to your question, I do live in the US and I do recycle or give away, but recycling is not nearly as low-impact as not producing in the first place. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycle comes last because it's the least effective.
