Thanks, Jon!  I think I now understand the situation.

I'm not sure my T60 has been booted to XP since the first few weeks
that I had it - Almost two years ago.  But, some friends and family do
not understand that and ask me about Windoze anyhow.  They do not
understand that I'm clueless about such things.

Thanks again,
Carl
