[RTTY] computer/soundcard recommendations

[Richard W. Solomon]

Looking forward to seeing those 40 GB DVD's hit the market !!
In my case I use the System Restore function in XP.

We're drifting off topic a bit, but if I may offer some advice on 
backup and restoration:

The best and most complete backup of all is an image of your drive, 
created when the computer is brand new and again at regular 
intervals. I use Acronis True Image, but Norton Ghost works well too. 
Burn the image to a CD or DVD, verify the image is accurate and then 
file it away.

Having an image of your HD allows you to restore the HD to exactly 
the same condition - and I mean exactly - as when the image was made. 
It's the way IT professionals do it and IMO, the only way to go.
