Hello Ross - 

TW>> WHY shouyld I waste money on different Hardeare like a
TW>> FOOL when I can just go back to Win98SE which fulfilled my
TW>> needs adeqautly. I only looked at WinXP because you and
TW>> others were making such a fuss and prasing how Superior it
TW>> was. WELL YOU WERE WRONG as far as my needs go. 

RC> The machines I owned in 92,93,94 werent good enough to
RC> support Windows 95. 

RC> Beyond that, some of my machines since then werent good
RC> enough for certain things. 

RC> My car isnt good enough for Four wheeling in the mud. 

RC> My tennis shoes arent good enough for running. 

Stop, stop, you're depressing me. OH, THE HUMANITY!!!! 

RC> Microsoft made available HCL's (Hardware compatibility
RC> lists), you could have checked your hardware against them
RC> before investing the 99 to 199 in XP. 

Good point, too bad no one mentioned that _before_
recommending he try XP. 

RC> Never erect a house on a bad, weak or insufficient
RC> foundation, I can throw more cliche's at you if you need? 

Please do, I can add them to my database of taglines.

RC> If your personal needs didnt exceed Win98SE, why did you
RC> bother? 

Many here encouraged him to 'bother' many many times. 

RC> At some point in time your needs might exceed 98SE, worry
RC> about new hardware, XP/Vista then. 

'Vistas'? Be afraid, be VERY afraid.
