I never suggested dumping Windows XP. My wife and I are still using it on our two PCs. I have too many applications that will not run on any Windows beyond XP except if I run in XP-mode. Why should I pay for a newer Windows just to run in XP-mode if I already have XP? And no, I cannot get newer versions of some of those applications because their developers have shut down. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Are taxes too high in the U.S.?
