    No idea about it then or now, apart from they sold a lot of them and there is a busy user community out there. Just making the suggestion to help you or your sister ( it's confusing, sorry, you answer questions about the programs your sister is having problems losing with examples of programs you use yourself )

    The difference between the 70Gb of software on your PC and the 70Gb of software on my Mac is that half the 70Gb on your PC is just the operating system. of the remaining 35Gig half of that is filled up with orphan files and the remaining disk space is required for Windows antiquated virtual memory.

    My Mac has close to 70Gig of files on the Hard Disk and it runs fine....and its only running a relatively slow G4 chip.

    Not really into train sims.....more into the real things. Can reel off every class of locomotive that ran in New Zealand pre 1980 along with wheel arrangement, boiler pressure and othe totally useless information. Not so active these days but used to play an active part in a few steam loco restoration projects.
