The new box have both USB 2.0 and 3.0, but so far no USB 3.0 drivers 
have surfaced, ArcaNoae's team are working on them so when they are 
released they will probably be licensed for use with ArcaOS, but She 
don't give a hoot about that, if they work in ArcaOS, they will probably 
work on eCs 1.2 and a hotted up WSeB as well.

She put it wrong here, will not delete g:\os2ut\warpin and it's 
associated statements in LIBPATH, DPATH and BOOKSHELF. Just copy out the 
database file to another location or simply rename it. But can She 
delete the warpin files directly and doing an install or must they be 
deinstalled first and THEN installed with the latest Warpin package?

Will certainly do that when She have a whole morning (wakes up about 
0600 every morning) and the Home Service arrives at about 1030 to help 
with food preparations and suchlike activities.

Btw, what software must She have to listen to and see podcasts? For 
purely sound podcast, any good mp3 player like pm123 will function, but 
what about podcasts that contains images / moving pics? WarpVision perhaps?
