And this brings up an interesting quandry if you are buying PC's with pre-loaded
software...

Where I just started working, they guy here had purchased 2 Compaq DeskPros from
Insight (so they come as "consumer/home PC's software-wise...). I DID run 
through
the "create the image disks" deal so I had a copy of all software on the PC, 
JUST
IN CASE...

I go to use what you describe, and find MSQUERY not installed. I hit the MS
Office setup deal and it starts and GUESS WHAT ?

It asks me to insert the MS Offiice CD (!!!!!!)  NOT one of the diskettes that I
"need(ed) to make in order to reinstall pre-loaded software...

Luckily we have some Gateway's that COME with ALL CD's and used that (and NO, I
don't normally "copy" software but was in a jam and don't consider this copying
since the STUPID software was NOT completely "loaded" in the pre-load deal...)

Fun, fun, fun...

Chuck ;-)
