Bummer about the groups. Glad your boot up time perked up.

My XP model, I put in another ram stick. That helped a lot.

Yeah, Vista finally came back to life after the last update.
Programs that
had been deleted (and even manually removed!) somehow
reappeared and my boot
time changed for almost 5 minutes down to 7 seconds to
log-in and another 7
seconds to desktop! So I've my groups back LOL. I've been
using Ubuntu
Linux, a great OS - but hadn't been able to get groups going
on it.

Sigh, you are correct. Many rec.radio groups became a
cesspool long ago.
