Many Thanks for that I think i might just do that.
Rick the most dubious sites i tend to visit are maybe IIS
and not much more, send about two emails a year but other than that, just look up the odd web page here and there.
PS now that i think about it i am writing this on a laptop which runs XP pro and has not been updated, since they stopped updating XP and that was some time ago, and this machine is running well very well.
When I bought it many years ago it came with a massive Hard Drive of some 120 Gb,s
Thanks Leon
