Greg, I hope to discontinue mentioning anomalies that are 
NOT showstoppers for me with my W2k system. Inkscape has 
broken from supporting W2k with 0.47 to 0.48, and my latest 
attempt to ungrade OpenOffice from 3.2.1 to 3.3 gave the 
same install error that Inkscape 0.48 gave me.

I think I've gotten my money's worth from this OS. Getting 
close to retirement time for it.

I'll make sure to remember the Extras/Images feature.
