Re: CD-ROM Drive not functional under full Windows XP PRO - Solved
Nope, sorry. Never been to Florida. Common name, though. There were three
people including myself with the same name where I used to live. Caused me
no end of financial problems when one of them started running stuff up on one
of my credit cards. It stopped after the police contacted me and they went
after one of the other two. $900 worth of motorcycle parts is not my buying
pattern. It just took a while to clean up. PITA !
