Hi Ron I am still using XP I may soon have to use Win 7 as I am in need of a new laptop but will keep XP on this tower for as long as it runs Having used Win 7 a little (but not enough yet) I find it has one or two strange ways about it but guess in time I will get used to it One thing that has been mentioned is the way Win7 wants to download to a download location, whats that about? Why it can't just ask for a location where you want to save it to, I don't know It appears to me that as time goes by and each successive "upgrade" they appear to be trying to make Windows suitable for two years olds to use, but they seem to be achieving the opposite from what I see of some facets of it Jan suggested Linux, if you go down that route good luck to you I was impressed with it for a day or so, it booted a seemingly unbootable computer, but killed it very soon after and have been unable to boot it at all since I find the Linus lovers much like the Apple aficionados, they do like them don't they :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Just read yesterday that Microsoft is killing Windows XP two years from > now.
