I'm sure everyone is, by now, aware that I had a fatal computer crash.

Fortunately it's all backed up.

Question: How do I restore Internet Explorer's Favorites, Cookies,
etc.??

You probably don't, if you have lost the original files. In any case,
why do you want to restore cookies? By and large, they are a menace. I
spray them with cookie-killer from time to time. They should be called
'roaches', not 'cookies'. In any case, in UK they should be 'biscuits'.

Thanks for the feedback - I also have access to powerpcb - is that much
better?

There are two things I need in a pcb design package - easy ability to
create custom decals/footprints as I am using some very specific parts
and secondly I need to overlay a CAD drawing of the board as I need to
be VERY specific in the layout of the components. Its a double sided
board so two cad drawings would be perfect.

Products like Eagle just don't suppor this sort of thing (that I've
foudn so far)

Any thoughts on what I should be using?

What you are looking for is any package that imports DXF's (or DWG's).
Do mechanical in mechanical, electriconic in electronic.

Import you board outline, slots, and other sundry non electronic component
pcb holes etc.,from a mech. cad package (Autocad or a clone) as one layer.
Do your 'tronic work on other layers - however many you need.

Lots of cad packages do this. They are not expensive.
See Terry Pinnells website for a mega list of 'tronic cad and download some
demo's.
EasyPC will do all you need here for about $160 but there are loads more.
Do not spend a fortune on an 'all singing all dancing' package if you are
not going to use it regularly - you will spend hours, days, weeks, every
time just trying to figure out how to do something in some of the more
complex packages such as Cadstar, Pads etc.
If you use them very regularly they are good otherwise they are worse than
hopeless.

I would reserve 'ugly' for those unfortunate enough to have a

on seeing them. And I would never use that word, even in that context,

I tend to reserve "ugly" for personality defects that are within the
control of the person. Physical beauty is secondary. Oh, and I had to
look up "frisson". Thanks.

It's a minor PITA to have to re-subscribe to newspaper sites and so
on, but of course you can just restore the files if you have them
backed up.

I don't know how you restore those handy little buttons and
customizable icons on the top bar of IE. Probably you don't.

How many times did you win? (;-)

Actually, 'gurning' was one of those delightful old English customs. You
have to wear a horse's collar and it helped to have as few teeth as
possible. I expect it still goes on at the annual fair in Bindweed-in
the-Mist.

Dunno. I'm spoiled.

You might get away with Orcad (cadence) Layout. You can get a
student version and I don't think the limitations will hurt you. I
don't recall the Layout limitations.

The overlay you refer to is know as the silkscreen layer. You can
also do an outline layer and create custom layers.

Terry Pinnel has a page on CAD programs you should check. If he
doesn't chime in soon, I think the URL is something like

www.terrypin.dial.pipex.co.uk and part of that googled ought to
return the URL if I'm wrong.

Well, I already have a spare Dell Inspiron 8000 built into my TV cabinet. If
I drop back to DOS or Win98 or whatever in order to get better control of
parallel ports I will have to sacrifice being able to run Windows Media
Player directly into my 23" LCD monitor/TV. I may have to as a last resort as
I have some very small form factor computers which I could use.

Yep, but I was the photographer. "The Old Prospector" is likely my
