HI Andy.
I'm not all that bothered about my printer as it is about seven years old.
Even my Epson Scanner, which I run k1000, is rarely used these days. I'm
pleased to hear that Winamp and the BBC Player have no problems, but do you
know if GoldWave can run on it?
I use it a lot and would like to stick with it if possible.
After this all I need worry about is my Soundblaster card and my Zoom and
Olympus digital recorders. VISTA will have to accept the latter.
Best wishes.
Andy.
