XP is also very hungry for resources, so your decision is probably
correct.
If this guy ever sells these $3 Laptops in bulk, make sure you
let the group know.;-)

Actually Ed, I have XP Pro on the home computer & on the ones at school.
Win98SE on everything else.
I really haven't noticed that XP is better. It looks good, but
functionality
wise, I'll stay with 98, and keep some coin in my pocket.
This is so much better than my 133MHz Compaq.
