due to corrupted data, Juan (omega... always helpful & competent) assisted
me in a complete reinstall of 2000i... but the new install would not read my
old data... so,... history bank seems to be working today... so guess i'll
be spending some download time... haven't been able to use HBank for about a
year, as somewhere along the interned route (11th stop), it always
(presviously) stopped cold.  today it works thank goodness.  no known
viruses.  had not heard that live update could be a problem... i use it for
norton virus checker.

only problem left is now my computer decides to spontaneously reboot when a
2000i command or a windows (2000 PRO) command is called.  may have to take
it to the shop for an oper. sys. reinstall also...   when does it end?!
