Thanks for the words of encouragement, Web Kracked and Terrence. I will
need to fetch drivers and invest in a video card, but that's easy enough.
I am presently running a version of XP that does not require the OS to
call home. i.e. I can avoid activation, and I truly will hate to give
that up, but XP support at the University will go away in the next
couple of years, so I'll either have to switch to some version of Linux
or go to W-7.
With Warmest Regards
