From: Dale E Sterner <sunbeam...@juno.com> With windows if your PC dies and you want to move to a dupicate and keep running - your out of luck. Windows ability to detect small changes is amazing - it just wants to stop. Win 7 is such a pain to deal with I think even DOS could beat it. Every time I install new software it wants to be reauthenticated.
