I've also got a 256Mb SD card which isn't doing anything. I'll try a dual boot while I'm at it.

My memory is a bit fuzzy but I don't think find was part of the OS in the old days. I'm not 100% sure as I was a systems integrator working on MS-DOS, Concurrent Dos (ICL DRS300), and Unix (ICL DRS300 and CLAN 3 and 4) but I seem to remember if you wanted to recursively list the entire file structure you had to use "tree". The CPU and filesystem weren't powerful enough to search based on keywords unless the files had been indexed for a particular set of keywords ahead of time. Life was difficult in the old days. Maybe that's why I moved into sales...
Thanks for the help so far. I've got enough to keep me amused over the weekend. It will keep me busy while I upgrade a couple of XP systems to Vista. I've also got a 256Mb SD card which isn't doing anything. I'll try a dual boot while I'm at it.
