OTOH look at the articles on and pointed to by the LockerGnome mailing
list. XP is as bad as 1/2 the speed of WIN2000 for many applications and
also worse than WIN98. If you have WIN 2000 and do not have to upgrade, don't.
If you have ANY version of WIN98 then it is worth the money and th e
hassle, even if you have to upgrade hardware. VERY little software that
runs on WIN98 will need upgrades.

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<br>
