The PC, whilst for my home use, may well need to be linked to my work network, if you work for yourself you never really stop working .........
I will prob keep my W98 PC, it isn't worth anything and it will have 2 hard drives and may be used as a photo store etc.
Ref Linux ....... I'm not sure I can be bothered learning a new OS ........ although 'not in the game now' I did PC support for a previous company so I have acquired a reasonable base of knowledge.
I'm quite tempted by the description of VISTA ..... I'm quite impressed by superficial glitz ...... girls in shiny dresses .... mmmmmmmm.
I really don't now what I want but I am compiling a list slowly and I just about refraining from making an impulse buy and doing a bit of research first. ONLY JUST!
