Windows 2000 vs Windows ME

Hi Gary,

Did not have any luck with getting the computer. He still has not taken his
files off it as yet. I spoke to him last night on the way to the Homeopathic
Group Meeting. It has been 2 years this coming January that it was promised.
I reminded him of that. For now, that computer is out.
