I don't know anything about it so won't recommend it but it might be worth looking into if anyone is very unhappy with what they have. Of course you can always buy a new copy XP for about $100 and replace your Vista but it sure is a shame to have to do that. And you don't know how much longer MS will support XP. Ain't it a shame that when MS has a good product, that might have a few issues, it will do away with that and come out with a replacement that has more issues, and no one seems to like it. Hmmm, sounds alot like what our elected officials likes to do sometimes. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Vaughan" <janepres@tampabay.rr.com> To: <gaemanue@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2009 2:37 PM Subject: Re: [GAEMANUE] Computer problems > I agree I hat Vista but that is my only option.. > > Jane Vaughan > Tampa, Florida > janepres@tampabay.rr.com > > P.S.
