CAD_PC_1
-----------------------------------
Um, my old CAD_PC_1 is Win'98(2). 

But, new versions of those CAD programs do not work on '98, few of my CAD programs work on XP, less of them work on Vista. To add insult to injury, although my XP CAD_PC_2 has ~ 3 Gb RAM, program bloat means proportionately less workspace per '32bit' program compared to the old 1Gb '98 system. To recover headroom, I must trade up to expensive '64' bit versions.

Now the killer: Rather than upgrade my *favourite* CAD program to '64bit', the makers dumped the old core-code and licensed a cut-down version of another package. That has a completely different look+feel, cannot use my custom models, cannot (yet) read earlier versions' files...
D'uh...

And, sorry, Tormie, I cannot get my router working. But, I'm *sure* I'm doing something stupid: If I keep reading modem and router PDF manuals, also 'Home Networking For Dummies' and 'Wireless Networking For Dummies', the truth may dawn...
