well, as promised, i finally made the big jump to windows xp on my home pc. it took several hours to complete considereing i had to burn allof my old data to cd-r, format the drive, load xp, and then fidget with some of my devices to get them to work, reload all of my software, but it is 99% done. i am mostly satisfied with my results. no real major show-stoppers. my dvd rom drive does not play dvd's right now but i think i need to install another decoder. also my cd-burning software is not compatible with xp, but other than that i'm happy. my digital camera, printer, scanner, and mp3 player have all gotten along with xp fine. i also need to load a diffrent anti-virus software so i hope i don't contract any virus's in the meantime! i'm not too worried. all of the kids games seem to work too...i was afraid i'd have to tell them they couldn't play their games anymore because daddy had to upgrade to a better OS. i'm sure they would have understood? i copied all my IE favorites but forgot to backup all my cookies (doh!) but that's ok. time will tell, but so far i'm glad i did it. that's all folks, more later.
sorry mom, another "boring" post. hope you feel better! :-)
