I aggree with you on that.
I have xp here which I will continue to use for ever more.
I however have gone anead and got a new laptop one of the last
toshibas with win7 which I am slowly building up in the event I can
no longer use xp.
Its likely I will continue to use xp but eventually not on a faster
system than my new laptop.
In fact the only reason I use this old unit right now is because its
hardware still works.
Eventually it will die completely and I will have to use the other.

Hi Tom,
Sadly, I am serious.
But your point about 98 being 15-years-old speaks to the broader
point I was making as well. XP is 12-years-old now. Folks will
either start migrating on their own terms, or find themselves in a
position, sooner or later, when they are forced to migrate unexpectedly.
