[muglo] Re: WINDOWS XP

The Windows 95 computer cannot handle Windows XP! It's also debatable as to 
whether it's worth purchasing Windows XP for the other two.

PS A free alternative for the Windows 95 computer is to install Ubuntu 
Linux. It's free and comes with a variety of FREE (legally) in-built 
softwares: OpenOffice.org = word processor/spread sheet/presentation 
software that's compatible with MS Office files; e-mail software; and, with 
web browsing software (FireFox, Mozilla, Opera). On Windows you are also 
able to play nearly any multi-media file and RealPlayer is available for 
Ubuntu.

You can order (free) CDs from:
https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

It's as easy to install as Mac OS X!

Eric.
