Lionel - You should be able to buy an upgrade to xp if you have ME now - that is what I did. I didn't have to buy the full version. At one point during the install, I had to put my ME cd into the drive to prove that I was updating. I believe you could use a win 98 cd also.

Your expertise is very much appreciated . I have the money, cannot take it with me so may as well enjoy it . Will get XP and upgrade when Vista comes out if need be . Your opinion is a sound one. Thank you again.
