I have heard of Ghost before. I saw it on The Screen Savers show a few |
| 52 |
times. You are right, I hate windoze. I can install it and set up some |
| 53 |
stuff but I like to run after that. I would rather go to a dentist than |
| 54 |
mess with windoze. I make a exception for my brother and my Sweetie. |

May have to check on that. |
