I'm with you on that one. I held onto Windows 98 until early 2006. I tend to
hang onto things until they become untenable. And I hate the thought of
having to do all those installs from scratch.

Wow, you think XP is a bummer?
I sometimes have to set up a screenreader on someone's windows 7 machine,
and I hate it.
I will hang on to XP as long as I can.
I will probably run it for a while after support has stopped, and some lack
of security.

well, they sent me an XP which is a bummer.
Nothing looked out of the ordinary when I looked through USB ports in device
manager. sigh There are 4 on the front that work, I guess I can make due
with that.
Beats dealing with support and a fourth computer to mail back.
