I just noticed on GNS web page, they say 99.9% of all motherboard replacements require a OS reinstall... http://www.nanosys1.com/services.html I didnt have to with Linux, 98, or NT when I did it. Has anyone had those troubles? Or are they just saying that to cover their asses? Jay -- When you said "HEAVILY FORESTED" it reminded me of an overdue CLEANING BILL ... Don't you SEE? O'Grogan SWALLOWED a VALUABLE COIN COLLECTION and HAD to murder the ONLY MAN who KNEW!!
