response to all responders About the MDD I posted power button does push in pretty easy on the upper left. odd, but looks low on list of upgrade priorities. was able to upgrade to 2 Gigs of RAM. Got 3 of the seemingly similar sticks all from this one online dealer - one of them payed an evil trick and would play dead if one of 4 but would show itself if one of three. Silly Borg and their odd numbers. wind tunnel, yeah heard of that one - never thought it was that bad. at least there's enough horse power to run my music. cd tray - F12 - awesome, thanks for the many who suggested that one. just disabled dashboard's keyboard shortcut. hate dashboard. Someone mentioned Abode CS3 likes a healthy serving of 64MB VRAM. My sys prof shows it's there. think i'll just go for it. appreciate it, folks - Kevin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
