Hey, it's great to hear a success story with XP as an OS upgrade! You are the first in my experience, AB, and that's why we've been afraid to even attempt the upgrade. In fact, just this morning some friends of ours called about problems with their brand new Dell that came with XP factory installed. It seems that their printer would not work with it and then when she went to send an e-mail the OS completely locked up. She was on the phone with Dell yesterday trying to get it straightened out without success. She called us this morning just to vent...I guess!
