As promised, an update on the 2257MadeEasy software experience....
after upgrading to XP Pro (required to run the software on your local machine), I enabled IIS (to run the machine as a local server) and installed the software.
There are flash movie instructions on the site, for every step - which was appreciated because I had no idea how IIS worked. I ran into a problem with read-only files, but there was even a flash movie on how to correct that problem if it occurs.
So far, I've entered all the producer and site information - absolutely no problem, the cross-referencing all seems to work perfectly so far.
I'll have finished downloading all the content to my machine by later today and will start associating models, URLs and content with the producers and sites then...will report back afterward.
But so far, the software is performing flawlessly :-)
For the cost of the XP upgrade (about $100) and the software (about $50)...I'm delighted with it so far :-)

(the referrer link is in my sig...but if i wasn't having a good experience, it would already be gone.)
