Not intending to prolong a rather off-topic Windows discussion, but M$ did the usual thing: it's not GoBack that's in the newer OSes, it's a severely crippled half-baked attempt at a pseudo-GoBack. I have ME machines here, and GoBack is definitely way better than the stuff that comes with the OS. For one thing, it's stable; for another it deals with the whole disk, not just some files that Bill G thinks are important; and for another, it doesn't noticeably impact the machine's performance. Yeah, I know, it sounds like magic :-) As far as I'm concerned, it's the single niftiest program I've seen in thirty years of using computers. Last I checked, GoBack didn't work with NT/2000/XP, so probably the M$ stuff is the best there is for those. Doc PS I am sure that the GoBack folk (Roxio) are doing just fine: Roxio also makes CD Creator.
