Maybe you should upgrade to Windows 7.

Please don't laugh too loud. You _are_ onto something about me!

I use XP on all my computers cuz I don't want to buy new versions of all my important software, and I don't trust the emulations in the later versions to work reliably. I hear about all of the advantages of 7, but for the simple stuff in a small law office, XP is solid as a rock and I can't imagine why I'd ever need the enhanced networking.

It's like that line in Men in Black where the guy says he's bought the Beatles White Album five times. Vinyl, 8 Track, cassette, cd, and then the big remastering. I've bought the White Album just twice, but for what I need, I don't know that I need to buy Windows again. I buy new computers with a downgrade to XP.
