Changed to XP

[John Ross]

Greg,
I have had XP, since last Nov. I don't remember anything happening
after 30 days.
>From frequent requirements, to reboot and quite a few reformatting and
reinstalling, with my WIN98SE. I have had just been required to reboot
once.
I had to get a few updated drivers from manufacturers, but other than
that, no problems whatsoever.
Mind you having said that, I upgraded my computer, and had a clean
install, which also might have had something to do with no problems.
Anyway, just my experience.
Regards,
John M. Ross
Windsor, Nova Scotia.

| Jim,
|

time (I

space

more

re-install it
| is an even bigger chore than 98 or 2K...

| Best,
| Greg
