Thanks, I'll have to take a look later this week, OfficeMax didn't have the HD I
wanted in the store so I'll have to return at the end of the week, oh well.

By "2Go" I'm assuming that you mean 2 gigabytes?  I've never seen "Go" before.

I was told that 2Gb was the maximum I could do unless I upgraded to Win 98, and
I don't want to do that.
