JP>    Hello Alan, nice talking to you !  

JP> AZ> I actually had to track down a version of Multiplan 1.0 recently to
JP> AZ> help someone read some data files stored on an old floppy diskette...

JP>        On my C=, MP was a fine PRG, did all that was required, I
JP>  could even dunp it to a # 4. In C= parliance, this is the printer
JP>  address.

JP>        In spite of Tom W. reluctance, I redid or rather did a load of
JP>  XP Pro yesterday on a friend's system, his 80 g HD mechanically
JP>  crashed. He got a new one from Dell and he had taken a 3 year
JP>  warranty. They no longer installed 80 g HD so he got a 160 g one. He
JP>  is the average user as we defined a while back. ;-)) He did not even
JP>  want me to set up his printer to automatic on & off. He would do
JP>  this manually and wanted to keep doing this. This was his philosophy
JP>  all along.

JP>        The Dell OEM restore CD ran very smoothly. The only problem
JP>  that held me back for a while was how to open the case to access the
JP>  old HD and replace it. Dells are very well done, quality stuff, the
JP>  HD is mounted on plastic rails that lock into place with a snap.

JP>        Would you know in Canada, where we could send his crashed HD
JP>  to regain all the data on it ? Is there anybody doing this ? Do you
JP>  have any idea of the cost for this service ?

     
Unless it is critically important it will be too expensive.
