I'd believe you'd go out and *buy* a junker XP just for the purpose too!

But remember one thing, I "inherited" so to speak this machine with XP Pro
already on it. As the Bear so eloquently reminds is "If it ain't broke,
don't fix it". This thing runs absolutely flawlessly, but that does not
mean I've become a 98 turncoat. I still have my 98 disk, and if something
went south here I would install it in a heartbeat (with XP also, to be
honest).

I still attribute most of my computer and OS knowledge to this NG, and all
the fine people here...even Glen Ventura rvvf

No! I wouldn't! However, I'd choose one that is spic & span from the
neighborhood junkyard. I think I owe you that much!

So? I never said that was the one I wanted to smash! Don't get me in
trouble with the Bear!

Yea, yea, me too-- sure.
