1) notice sys res checkpoints appear back to January, many of them. Is

correct?
2) how do i convert a wd2000 doc to a pdf file? Or a doc file of 7000kbs,
the most rapid way to send over the internet?
sorry for the dumb questions.

System restore points will appear for as far back as there is space to
hold them - by default, SR creates a new point every 24hrs realtime,
when the computer has been idle for 2 minutes, even if there have been
no changes to the system. I'd limit the amount of space available to
SR to around 1GB or less (unless installing something large, like
Office) to free up space on the HD, as it will try to fill the 12% of
the C: drive that's reserved for it by default.

Sending Doc files over the Internet is best done in compressed format
(as a zip file). there's loads of 'dead' space in DOC files, which is
removed by zipping them. I suspect that 700KB will come down to less
than 70KB unless there's embedded jpegs.

And I suspect you mean to say: 7000 KB will come down to less than 700
KB....
