I don't have XP. I am still using W ME ,on my computer, but do have a dial up connection and some updates get stopped when the connection breaks, which has been a lot lately especiall early in the morning about this time for some reason,some will restart from the first and some will pick up where they left off, and I can't tell you which. After reading all the emails about XP , I am wondering if I will ever change from ME, I know that there is going to be a time when I won't be able to use all the programs, but maybe what I use , I will still be able to use on ME, I am a home user, and about all I use my computer for now is email and recording my genealogy, and use the search engines to" window"shop for things I am condidering buying . Right now I am not even keeping my finances on it, Like a lot of people I learn to use the programs I use the most and that is all, I don't care what makes it work, I just want it to work when I need it. and I try to keep it very clean and up todate.
