You can only use it once and then it's gone so I can't see where it was on my dell, but seems to me that in start > all programs there was a dell choice and in that there was a recovery listing. If you did not get a printed manual with the computer there is one on the hard drive. If you don't see it in the start > all programs menu search for 'manual' and you will find it. In the manual it will tell you exactly how to make the recovery disk. By the way, since you can only make one I made a copy of mine. cd's have been known to fail. If I were paranoid about it I probably would make a half dozen copies.

Thanks, dennisgli. Glad to hear from a happy F-P person. I haven't been able to see the model you have, or the one that replaced it. It doesn't seem to have a FD option any more, which is livable for us. The one in the appliance shop is just a titch bigger, which is actually a downside for us as we want to keep things as low profile as we can. I was impressed with the amount of fridge space, though. Particularly on the door... There were a few GW threads talking about both the freezer and the fridge not being able to get cold enough that scared me off of F-P when we were prepared to purchase. Now, I am rethinking it again and will do more research (ugh). ahoyhere - what people talk about on-line, and it resonates for me, is that when short people with a small arm research (or bad backs) try to bend into freezer drawers and pull large things out of the bottom, it can be difficult (or painful). This resonates with me, as someone with a short reach and bad back. In those cases, it is actually easier to open a bottom door and have full access via squating than having to bend over and reach down and in. I totally get your loathing of squating for the crisper drawers and we are sold on a bottom freezer for that reason. Surely we access the freezer less than the fridge. However, it doesn't negate the point that proper back mechanics (which matter to those of us with back pain) involve using the knees (squatting) versus bending over and using back muscles to lift ourselves and items up. Your Pininterest page is a lot of fun. Appliance eye candy, which I couldn't appreciate until this remodel. I took some repins for my own underused pininterest page. Thank you! By the way, we have one of those single induction burners that we purchased to use during the remodel - it sold us on getting an induction range. Just LOVE it. Ginny20 - I have no idea about whether Samsung's ice maker/water can be shut off. And I really, really do not want water on the door. I'm not loving that the Samsung CD sticks out so far past the cabinets, either. And, apparently the service and repair issues are nightmarish up here in Alaska. The appliance repair folks who used to repair them have dropped them because it is just so bad to work with them. I really don't want to treat a major appliance like a disposable item, which is basically what I'd have to do with Samsung. Take my chances that I get a good one - be prepared to take it to the dump if it breaks... I went out again and did the rounds. Fell in love with the Liebherr's looks again, as I do every time I see it. For sure, it would look the best. It's the thinnest, narrowest and most integrated look. It's also freaking pricey...and the freezer storage seems pretty slim. Thanks for the feedback, folks. I'm still not sure where this boat is going to land.

Another vote for David Lanz. One of my favorite songs is "Cristofori's Dream". Brian Crain is another that plays more modern, serene piano music. My favorite is "Song for Sienna". I was asleep on the couch (sometime in the early 2000s), had the tv on one of the XM channels on Directv. I was dreaming I was listening to the most beautiful piano music. I remember in the dream I had such a peaceful feeling. Woke up and the song wasn't a dream at all...it was playing on the tv :) I'm listening to Brain Crain right now. Thanks for the topic! I haven't listened to my piano collection in a long time. DD played a lot of Chopin during her piano studies (full music scholarship). I have fond memories of his music. Your SO sounds like me. I'm not an "album" person. I like to pick and choose my songs and buy them individually to make my own playlist. OTOH, DH likes for me to download entire albums/CDs for him. Check out the two songs I mentioned above and see what you think :)

Hi Lily! I was really hoping you would pop in and put your two cents in regarding my post :). You are how I first heard about Donohue’s as well and you seemed really pleased with your order. Plus I love your garden and the look you are going for. And thank you for your vote of encouragement. I can’t wait to get them and see how they do! I, too, was really drawn to the coloring of CdB. She looks like the contrast between the leaves and flowers will be stunning. I would love to see more pictures of your clematis if you get the opportunity!
