Okay, okay, now that I've used XP a couple of weeks (or is it less than that?), I have to admit I've had a lot less problems with it than I did with Me. Smoother bootup and shut down. No funny things happening (though I didn't have that MANY funny things happening).
It was a major PITA to install over Me (without reformatting). Took me about four days and tons of agony (I's recommend a clean install to anyone, but I didn't want to reinstall all the freeware/shareware, etc. that I had on my HD. Plus I have been a computer consultant in the misty past, so I was able finally to figure all the hitches out, also with the help of a lot of Internet research on XP installation hitches). So each and everyone one of you that recommended I dump Me, that it was unstable -- was right. (And it was recommended to me more than once. Recently and about six months ago. So that covers a lot of people.) So, ta-da-da-boom, get ready, here it is... YOU WERE RIGHT!!! Marnie aka Doe And I am a big enough woman to admit it. ;-)
