Thanks for all the responses, it seems that XP is the way to go. This is an ocassional use machine to learn Graphicalc so I don't want to by a newer machine. I've ordered another 512 Mb of RAM from Amazon for $39 plus shipping and I even found some burned XP recovery disks for the T23 that one of you was kind enough to send me years ago... So i put in the recovery disk and "IBM Product Recovery program version 5.6" comes up and offers "Full recovery: Reformat your hard dsik and install Windows XP, device drivers and preinstalled applications" It warns me that all data on the hard drive will be lost so I enter Y Sometimes I get a Win 2K splash screen but eventually the recovery program runs through a bunch of white text, expanding and inflating a bunch of stuff. It asks for disk 2 so i put that in and it inflates more stuff before saying "Remove any diskettes or CDs from the drives and press Enter to restart" But when it restarts I get WIN2K with my old user account and desktop. So are the recovery disks no good or is it operator error?
