Barry,

 BM> Pay 'em the Windows 10 32-bit too!

  Well, I'll use that DVD as a backup, in case I have to reinstall the
OS on my late Mom's computer, where the BBS is now.

 BM> LIS in other messaging, we're all thinking the 32-bit OS should have
 BM> been able to be installed on the 64-bit CPU/motherboard.  From what I

 BM> disconnect the original hard drive and install a fresh/blank one.

  They tried that from a fresh system, and apparently a quirk in the
hardware prevented it.

 BM> The roofers are here currently - and right above my head!  Sounds like
 BM> a combination hail storm, parade and -- something else really
 BM> basey-noisy! (Know I know what ants go through when we walk in the
 BM> yard!)

  I remember the episode of The Flintstones, where Fred and Barney are
hunting a Snorkasaurus (who became Dino). Betty and Wilma are to have a
picnic, when you start hearing this constant, rhythmic, bouncing, which
is getting louder by the second. It's a whole slew of ants coming to raid
the food, and the background music is the theme from "Bridge On The River
Kwai". <G>

 BM> As for your car -- hopefully a quick and inexpensive repair.  A while
 BM> ago I though my car needed a new battery -- was a faulty door lock
 BM> module draining.

  I can't drive for at least another week...so it'll be late June before
I can take it in for service.

Daryl
