I don't know what it is about XP

But I loathe that OS. Instinctively. There's just something about that offends me on a gut level. I *like* 98SE, dammit. I know what to expect, I know How Things Work (to an admittedly minor degree), and I run a great many programs that I depend on and XP just does not play nice with.

Before anybody mentions the L word OS, don't bother. One of the programs I absolutely rely on to be able to take requests and maintain logs thereof simply does not exist on the L word OS.

Feh.

Anyway, I'm going to have a rather tasty show Saturday night featuring a show from The Grateful Dead circa 1987. See you then, folken.

XP does have an option to run things in 95 emulator (it might be 98).

The one nice thing I've observed about XP is that when you've got games that require 256 color then you can set it up to switch to 256 color when you start the game and then have it switch back to your normal color when you exit the game.

That said... can you upgrade the box to XP Pro?
