Well I'm happy to report that the changeover went relatively well. The main concern was my accounting software - which is still DOS based (everybody remember what DOS is, or just us old-timers? ) Technically the software is not supported by XP, but they said they had some other customers that were using it and everything worked just fine, so I was a little worried, but everything went well - once we figured it all out that is. Spent most of the day working on that, but I got a little chance to check out some of the new features of XP, and I think I'll wait and see what it has to offer before spending money on a new photo program. So now that I got all the work stuff up and running, I can spend some time getting my personal stuff back on - which is the fun part. Don't tell my boss, but I think, probably about 85% of my computer usage is personal stuff, which explains why I needed bigger, better and faster - to help deal with all the pictures I've been taking and posting here at PT.

Thanks for the suggetions and support everyone, and I'll still probably be a little scarce next week as I get to know my new buddy.
