Kriss, I don't yet have a CDROM installed on my HP 3000 -- the CDROM drive is sitting in a cardboard box waiting for the CE to install it. The purchase was authorized based on HP supplied information regarding future software releases on DDS and CDROM only and CDROM being less expensive than DDS media. I'd certainly like to use it for other things, too, like the US Post Office ZIPCode database (ZIP, ZIP+4, Carrier Route lookups) or manuals online, etc. John John Pearce [log in to unmask] Bethesda Management Company Standard Disclaimers Apply Colorado Springs, Colorado
