In the late 90's I got my first computer with DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 while every one else was using 95&98. A year or so later I got a 98SE machine, before the year was over, Millenium came out, then 2000 and a year or two later XP. I was still stuck with 98. Just about 2 years ago I finally got XP. I'm used to lagging behind in computer technology. But I am very satisfied with my XP machine now. I have all SP's and updates, and it works just fine for me. If I can I'll hang on with it for a few more years, unless a used Windows 7 machine drops into my lap.
What I fear the most, is the disappearance of the computer tower.
Thanks,
Dave
