Ok...I just copied what it said I needed from the instructions. The installation from my old Dell was all on one disk. I'd be afraid I'd mess up the installation if it ended up on multiple CDs. Maybe I should say that there would be more chance for error on my part. The instructions also said that the USB key should have a minimum capacity of 8 GB. Well, when I go to Control Panel, I see there are 45 programs now with total space of 1.12 GB. So what gives with them saying I need a minimum of 8GB? I'm guessing that it would all go on one of the disks at the link below. About them...it says, "This recordable DVD features AccuCORE technology which is 100x more scratch resistant than standard discs. Fights static, repels stains and fingerprints" Here is a link that might be useful: 25 DVD+RW Re-Recordable DVD 4.7GB

Lovetosew: whichever one you do choose, make sure that McAfee is completely uninstalled before installing the new choice..you can download the new choice to your computer first (but dont install yet) then completely uninstall McAfee using McAfee's uninstall tool..only then install your new choice..Personally, I have Avast on some of my computers and MSE on others...No problems with MSE updates as they are scheduled daily with a quick scan at 2am..your choice but anything even free stuff is better than McAfee

It's important that the school you are looking at is accredited, and hopefully well respected in the field. Case in point: the above mentioned University of Phoenix. Not that I generally use Wikipedia as a source, but the section on Criticism and Controversy regarding UoP is pretty decent. I'll be frank -- if someone told me they had a degree from University of Phoenix, I wouldn't consider it a "quality" degree. And to be honest, if I had the choice between hiring two candidates that were equal in all respects, but one had a degree from a well-known university, and the other from University of Phoenix, I'd take the first candidate. Why? Because I wouldn't trust the quality of work done at University of Phoenix, and because I know it's an online degree mill. To be honest, looking at Walden University, it seems to be much in the same model as University of Phoenix. Is any degree better than none? Probably. Is a "for-profit" university the best place to get your education? Quite possibly not. Take a look at some more traditional universities. I bet you dollars to doughnuts that a) they offer long distance learning courses, and b) they're cheaper than the for-profit colleges. In fact, you can make your search really easy by going here. You can put in your desired degree, and even indicate that you don't want to have to visit campus. There are many well respected colleges that come up during a Master's search on Business Administration, as an example. Walden University is $4175 per quarter for tuition. So roughly $16700 a year. University of Colorado-Denver is $600 per online credit, and requires 48 credits to finish the degree. If you figure two years to complete the degree, that's 6 credits per quarter, which means $600 x 6 = $3600 per year (or $14400 a year). You get a cheaper college, that people have actually heard of, that's probably more well respected -- and you know what? Unlike University of Phoenix, which immediately people are going to associate with "Ugh, online degree, that's not worth the paper it's written on" -- all you need to put on your resume is "University of Colorado." Nobody needs to know it's an online degree. University of Phoenix and their ilk had a place...when the old-style universities were slow to catch on to distance learning. But they're all starting to catch on to the distance learning craze nowadays, and the reality is, you can get a quality degree without lowering your standards anymore, and without having to pay as much.

Thanks everyone. it's nice to know I have more options. I'll try them all tomorrow. I spent the evening helping our Grandson go through all his toys to sort, toss and donate them. It was so cute how he picked out things for his cousin that we just visited last week. He noticed what she liked and wanted her to have his toys from his younger days. They are 4.5 years apart, but played together so well. Because of that I didn't get time to try your ideas tonight as I need to get to bed so I can get up early to take Grandson to the bus stop, then head to town to get my little guy (Tommy cat) his prescription food and grab a couple things at the store. Dedtired, what a blessing to have those recordings of both your sister and father. I had saved my Mom's last message (from the day she passed) on a taped answering machine. A short time later our daughter noticed the message light and listened to a new message. Not knowing about the special message from her Grammy, she chose to delete all messages instead of just the one she listened too. I was so upset when I heard the message "all messages deleted" from another room I started crying. She felt so bad. She was just 10 when my Mom passed suddenly of a massive heart attack. Luckily I have a VHS tape of my Mom talking, and at times you can see her. She didn't like videos or photographs taken of her so there are few. I'm like her in that I prefer to be taking the pictures and videos. I am trying to learn to change. Though I don't care for pictures of me, I know my family will cherish them when my time comes.
