There are some great deals on P4 machines with licensed copies of XP Pro on the surplus web sites ($80-100).

Mine also came with the Windoze office suite and that is worth about $100 too.

I am still running W98 on 3 or 4 machines around here tho. My wife and I have XP Pro on the two we use all the time. There just got to be too many new things not supported on W98 and I was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Win2K has got W98 beaten by the proverbial country mile, and you can still get drivers for just about everything. It was a huge step forward in reliability, ease of installation, processor support, you name it. XP has a few nice features that I like but it was just a small step for the average user. NT was geared more toward the business users. XP took NT's engine and made it more consumer friendly, that's all. It's NT in a pretty package. Vista is worse than Me was, and they tried to do the same thing. Me was designed to pretty up win98... Vista tried to do the same thing with XP. Both OS's failed miserably in their tasks. I was a beta tester from Win95 thru Vista. They listened to us for bugs (most times), but turned a deaf ear when it came to useability, and important features. They must figure that they know what the people want more than the people. The last experience with vista turned me off MS beta testing for good. I turned down an invite for Windows 7, but it looks like they're just doing a public beta anyway. I LOVE the public betas... they get you hooked on it, and it works (maybe), then you have to buy it before the beta you have expires. g Else you can delete the whole shebang and reinstall your old OS. At least with XP and Vista the testers were given 5 valid install keys for their troubles... and there were plenty. ;-) I'm probably sticking with XP until they drop support for it. --Mike |

I had quite a bit of experience installing NT on home machines and it could be a real bear trying to find and install the right hardware drivers, and get the IRQs assigned properly. Win2K was a real breath of fresh air when it came out. |

I do too. and maybe there should be some shared responsibility there, because the CC companies will let you go sink to the lowest and stay there and never let you out unless you file bankruptcy or something like that. I really think that cards should have lower limits. I do have a card which I use sparingly and it has a $5000.00 limit and to someone like me, that's scary. $2000.00 is plenty deep to me. |

When #1 daughter was getting married, I called up and asked for a higher limit. They said OK, and raised it about $10k more. They have since raised it a couple more times. But I never run a balance, and like the airline miles. So I charge a lot of stuff and always payoff the balance. Since I have paid for 2 college educations and a couple of weddings, I have a huge mileage balance. Just hard to get seats going where I want to go. Business to Tahiti, NZ, OZ an back to SFO. since it is partner airlines not as many seats available. |

The resulting airline miles are great for all kinds of travel and gifts! |
