Brian,

  That would be great! I did get logged in as "install" but it wouldn't
let me edit the password file. My address is: Joe Rigdon, 2960 Lowery Dr.,
Oviedo, Florida, 32765.

   BTW is there a way to tell if this is a 7300 or a 3B1, other than the
markings on the bottom of the case? The markings say this is a 7300 but I
was told that only the 3B1 has the hump in the case and this one has a
hump. The front label says it has a 40 Mb hard drive and du verifies that.
