I don't disagree but upgrades are just that.  More 'bang' for the 
buck.  One must weigh the gains vs, the losses.  If the new OS has more 
negatives than benefits, no one forces the change.  I use 98SE on one 
computer, ME on another and 2K on my main machine.  I have no need to 
change to XP AT THIS TIME.  I will no doubt be persuaded to change in the 
future.  What capabilities I lose will be more than made up for but the 
benefits.  E.g., CT was made generally obsolete in 2K.  Guess what... I 
went to a much more powerful logger, Writelog.  I sold my Tandy 1200 in 
1990.  CT worked great in it, HIHI


YMMV
