A very nice Christmas present for that geek in the family)

And stay away from IE - very buggy. Use Firefox, more stable and it doesn't have as big a bullseye as IE...plus, they have an option where you can export your bookmarks.
Good suggestions. One thing about Ghost though. If you back up the entire harddrive image and try to launch it on a new hard drive, you better make sure that their sizes are the same or you might be in for some major headaches.
