Hi John
The problem now is you get Vista if you buy a new pc. I don't know if it's
true or not, but I've heard they void your warranty if you change OS. Don't
know for sure as this is the first name brand pc I've ever purchased
(Toshiba @ Best Buy). Hopefully it's a long time before I have to use it as
my ham pc. Well, even then I could get a 450 Mhz or so from a friend who is
a professor and teaches in the IT field. He donates what they are going to
throw away to the local club. A 450 mhz running 98 sounds more appealing
then using Vista as a radio pc. We are very lucky in that regard.
73, Mike K9MI
