LOL! Did you look at where this post is being read, Robert? It's being
crossposted to both the 98 general group AND the XP general group. Tim
and others are replying from the XP group...they don't hang out in the
98 group. You're getting your help from the folks in XP general,
despite what you might think.

True. You know the iPad takes this even further!

Still using a CRT Monitor, too, no doubt?
All my Win 7 machines boot faster than my XP machine but I use an all
wireless network so I probably shouldn't say much about antiques.

Pity you don't have a newsreader, so you must post via Google Groups,
and using Quoted Printable as well, so quoted replies are fubar'd.

XP SP3 is still a supported OS under the MS Lifecycle. You think
because someone uses or supports an older OS that they don't also use
the newer ones? My Windows 7 system boots faster than XP, but not by a
lot....and the XP system is a multiple-boot so there's a delay added
from going through the third-party boot manager.

You think using ClearWire all-wireless makes you "progressive"? LOL!
It performs poorly in my area, with frequent down time as well.
Everyone I know who was using it has switched to cable internet for a
more reliable and high speed connection. "Antiques" has nothing to do
with it.
