      Today is Saturday for me in Australia ...
      I thought I would share my experience for others that may be getting a new computer in the near future.

      On Wednesday afternoon Dell delivered new 64bit computer, 8G ram with Windows 64 Xp downgraded from Windows Ultimate 64. I phoned Dell and they said they would send a technician the following day to install Windows Ultimate 64 (which I had paid for). I live a long way out of the city (2 hours) so I was quite impressed with their service.

      This duly happened on Thursday and the computer was running smoothly with Vista Ultimate 64bit in the late afternoon. Although Vista is very different, I am getting used to it and it comes with it's own security. I turned OFF the User Account reminders as they drove me mad constantly asking my permission - turning the reminders off made the installs easier too. I am the only user, so it's fine for me.

      I then spent the rest of that day and Friday installing printers (which took some time getting 64bit drivers) and Adobe CS3 programs. One of the suites didn't activate so I called Adobe (just before closing time) and they activated over the internet as it hadn't de-activated from my other computer properly.

      So, thanks to Bob's earlier advice - I now have all my CS3 Production and Web suites installed and CS3 Indesign.

      The only little glitch appears to be Indesign doesn't see the fonts installed in the Windows folder. I have deleted the Adobefnt.lst and reopened Indesign but it still doesn't see them.

      Have I missed something? Or should I ask this in the Indesign forum?
