Go Fourth....
I did not get to paint today.  I spent the morning, and half the afternoon installing and uninstalling from a faulty windows XP installation disc, and talking to the techies at Apple and Microsoft to help me with the partition and installation.  I made a 2 hr run to get a new installation disc so I can try again to install it tomorrow or Monday.  Why did I do that?  I want to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 to manipulate my photos to compose references for my paintings.
I already have that so if I partition, I will not have to purchase another software for photo editing on my Mac.  At least that is what the plan is.
