Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Windows Question

Hi Dave,

A copy of the distribution disk you say? I bought an IBM ThinkCentre
(tower) with XP pro on it, but did not receive a CD, or any manuals for
that matter! I didn't notice any XP folders. Certainly would like to
find that on MY computer! Any other details? One large folded sheet of
paper with "pictures" doesn't do it for me. I liked my first IBMs,
plenty of binders with REAL documentation! It took me 4 mo. to find the
"windoz D" key to substitute for the missing "desk" icon. "Where's the
Manual?"
