ME is a POS blah. Get over it. If you try to do anything other than play minesweeper it's garbage. I tried hooking a parallel port zip drive to my friend's computer with ME and it wouldn't take it. It actually FUBAR'd his computer and he had to send it off to the manufacturer and got a whole new computer out of the deal (still with ME, but he didn't know better).

I also work for AT&T Worldnet tech support, and of all the longest calls I get needing the most work to get fixed are the ME calls. And usually what I end up telling them to do is contact their modem or computer manufacturer for support. I don't bother sending them to MS because they would just take their money and not fix the problem (because it's ME's fault). ME is just a glossed-over, bugged-up version of 98 disguised to be a functional operating system. XP is heaven in comparison.
