Finally got the Dell hooked up

I found out my internet connection was not as slow as I thought. It is still not fast by any chance. New computer is pretty sweet. I still have some files to transfer and more programs to load but all is well for now.

Keep us posted on the likes and dislikes. I may be needing to pick up a laptop in the next 2-3 months.

Windows XP is so much different from 98. It is going to take some time to learn it all.

The cool thing about XP is that you can spend all your computer time useing it instead of constantly rebooting as in windows 98. Very stable.

That's the truth! I just re-formatted my Dell's HDD and installed Windows XP upgrade from Windows ME yesterday...wow! Can't believe how much faster it boots up, runs and shuts down! I'm still installing software and learning how to use the new Windows.

That was a fast order John. Hope you like the new computer. Mine's been good so far. :thumb:

Yep, have to agree XP seems pretty bullet-proof - especially the SP1 version. Once you get used to it, it's pretty good!!

It will have a fast load and shut down for a while. The more software you load the slower it will get.
