Yes, Bill, you're right. Upgrading costs too much. It's better to afford
a bit more and get a better to-date system. The cost oan be smetimes be
prohibtibe.

*can you do it, yes, but is it easy, no.

*more than likely you will get tired of waiting.
*by the way you will have to use jfw version 2, which is also on the cd rom.
*unfortunately it does not have the super easy installation program with it.
