Hi Pat, Sorry 'bout that. I'm currently in Philly visiting my folks which means I'm on Mom's computer, which further means I have to access my email at the GMail website which I'm not at all familiar with. She also has a strange feeling keyboard, but that's another story. I'll be here until Feb 2nd, so pray for me. I may not be answering too many questions while I'm here. ;O} On Jan 17, 2008 3:56 PM, Patricia <rhekay@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > ok I read this too .....then I got another email stating that in June > 2008 Microsoft will stop > selling XP...heres what the hub bub going around. > > Join the 21,572 people so far (as of noon PT on Jan. 16) who have had > signed the online petition to demand that Microsoft not stop the sales of > Windows XP as planned on June 30, 2008, but instead keep it available > indefinitely. > Don't want to upgrade to Vista (or its successor) - ever?
