Hi ya' Chuck in OK!
Yes, I too have been reading what others have been
saying about XP along with the hype to sell XP and
have taken the tour, etc., and it's new face
doesn't impress me at all, therefore, regardless
of the stability that it is declared to have, so
long as my system is running as smooth as silk as
it now after spending many hours tweaking,
adjusting, deleting, testing, etc., after
installing the final of IE6 over my beta copy
which was causing all or the biggest part of my
problems, I have no intentions of taking the
chance of trying to fix what is no longer broke as
I do not believe that XP can even come close to
beating or even equaling what I have working now
and I give due credit to all you folks who kept
telling me that my system was so corrupted that
nothing could be done but to wipe it clean and
start all over, for that is what made me stick to
my guns and wait till the final release of IE6 was
out so I could try my theory out for myself and
thereby save all my data, settings and programs
intact as I have succeeded in doing, thanks to you
folks!
