[Fwd: FEISTY RESTARTS ALL ON ITS OWN!]

[Maurice Murphy]

Peter,

Many thanks for your last two posts received today.  They were most 
helpful.  Like you, I'll probably save my data and do a complete 
re-install once Feisty Final is available.

Could we have a chat on the phone sometime at your convenience.  I would 
like to talk to you about my son's setup in Toronto.  My number is 
613-829-7087.  Many thanks, Maurice
