Subj : WinXP To : Charles Angelich From : George Vandervort Date : Tue Sep 06 2005 08:33 am Hello Charles! Hahaha.. ROTFLMAO!!! Coursing and Blaming Bill Gates, because someone is having problems installing WinXP into an old Legacy computer with questionable Memory and Hardware, is like owning an old refurbished Modle-T Ford with an original 4 horse power engine and Blaming Henry Ford, because you can't get an Air Condition installed on the Model-T?
