How fun it is to open a box and pull out a completely new machine (or open many boxes and assemble a new machine)! Haven't done this for so long, I forget what that feels like!
My Wife will be getting a new PC at the end of June, as part of her Voc. Rehab Career Course. It will be a "mid-sized" PIV (Pentium 4) based machine with a few nice bells and whistles attached. 17" monitor, run of the mill keyboard and mouse, but no printer.
Package deal from Gateway (the school switched back to Gateway after experiencing some unsolvable headaches with Dell... so I have heard...).
When we set it up, I'll let everyone know the stats of it (speed, DRAM type and size, peripherals, adapters, etc.).
It will most likely have Windows XP, so now I need to learn all the tweaks and guts of XP!
Does XP work well for anyone here? What incompatabilities have you experienced? What makes it a better O/S than any of the 9X series? Is it more or less stable across multiple machine setups? (how many GPFs, IPFs and lockups are experienced after adding new software or hardware).
Does XP get along well with Windows 2000? I may take off into the Windows 2000 Pro / Server angle sometime soon (before the next ice age to be exact!

Gotta go.
