Subj : WinXP To : TOM WALKER From : Ross Cassell Date : Tue Sep 06 2005 03:56 pm Hello TOM! 06 Sep 05 09:29, you wrote to JAY EMRIE: TW> WHY shouyld I waste money on different Hardeare like a FOOL when I can TW> just go back to Win98SE which fulfilled my needs adeqautly.

The machines I owned in 92,93,94 werent good enough to support Windows 95. Beyond that, some of my machines since then werent good enough for certain things. My car isnt good enough for Four wheeling in the mud. My tennis shoes arent good enough for running. Microsoft made available HCL's (Hardware compatibility lists), you could have checked your hardware against them before investing the 99 to 199 in XP. Never erect a house on a bad, weak or insufficient foundation, I can throw more cliche's at you if you need? If your personal needs didnt exceed Win98SE, why did you bother? At some point in time your needs might exceed 98SE, worry about new hardware, XP/Vista then. == Ross Fidonet Feeds Or Fidonet In Your Newsreader! http://www.easternstar.info Blog Or Discussion Forum: http://www.cassell.us Email: ross[at]cassell[dot]us ....
