[TenTec] vista

[Dave Edwards]

I agree with Jack......Unless perhaps you enjoy experimenting with the 
computer
aspects of the hobby, by forcing Linux to do stuff with tons of patches, and 
hidden drivers, or
wondering why Win7 or Vista won't run something that has always chugged 
along....stick with
XP, just like Win98 took a few years before everything caught up to it!

....Dave
