I would rather not upgrade to XP if I don't have to - unless I had a separate machine totally :)
All of you - JOhn, Mike, Godfrey, Peter, Brian - thanks for the reassurance and tips - MY resistance to change, or rather, not changing things I don't actually have to, has a lot to do with no one right here to help in person, and my not being able to remember even the simplest things sometimes with out many many repetitions and it is distracting. When I get into creative mode, that's what I want to think about, not where did I set down my cup of coffee. I still like to name my own directories, too... My pictures are not in a folder called "my Pictures" When I'm enabled with my new toy - you guys will no doubt be bludgeoned with questions :) If I get rolling on this thing I'll probably have to get a backup hard drive though... ann John Coyle wrote: > > More likely is the fact that Microsoft no longer support W98, and ME was a > crap OS anyway, more buggy than a June night!
