I'm IN!
I see that I will have a few (ok, a LOT) of software issues, and hardware issues, but I will see if I can get most of the drivers updated. My DSL had to be updated to the winxp drivers, so after I used the ol' dial-up modem, and having to wait 25 mins for 4 megs (ugh...) I got the new drivers and it's faster than the old setup now. On Win 98 DSL was connecting at 1.4 mbps it's connecting at 2.8mbps now!
I'll have to do a speed test and see what's up!
I actually love installing stuff! That's half the fun of getting a new computer!
OK I'm off to mess around!
BTW... so far Win XP rocks!
