Well, I am taking the plunge.
I am updating my old IBM T23 laptop from Win2k to WINXP Pro.
It's a great little laptop, though technology long passed it by, and at
the moment it only has 384KB of memory. If the update "takes," I'll update
the RAM to 512KB.

This is the machine I let household guests use.

Gosh, if it works out, I'll be as up to date OS-wise as the great computer
gurus here.


Before you run Windows Update, you may want to read this slowly, three
times:

And don't give me any crap about how your situation is an exception to what
the writer is talking about, or how your copy of XP is legit so none of this
matters.
