This machine (ie., I guess, I myself) cannot seem to donwload the software needed and have any idea where it goes in the machine (can't ever find such things again) or how to access it when needed, how to direct content downloads to the proper application programs to run them, etc. The hardware is perhaps too old to install operating system versions recent enough to handle such downloads. Wouldn't know how to transfer wanted items from this machine to a newer one if I could afford a newer one (not even any backup software on this vintage '94 machine.) This machine owes me nothing more but it's my only means even though it is getting too tired to be able to use my rather unstable flow of electricity to even turn on and boot up. But thanks for the effort. Cheers. Potter and bft: Thanks for the suggestions and tips.

My only quibble is with James Bamford assertion that it was the US which cracked the German 'Enigma' code. He really should know better.

Insular America wonders why so many people in the world are angry at the "most democratic and free" nation (or was that Empire) on earth. The NSA is just another reason. Other nations' citizens must also fear intrusion from the US gov't, but under US law this is actually legal! “tbrucia”, the tri should be a quadra.
