Digital BW, The Print

Dan, I think this was a typo---I believe you mean 98 to XP Pro.

Having just done this on my husband's computer, I know that XP Pro upgrade was $199 (that may be different depending upon where you buy it).  David's computer is my old computer built for me and is way more than adequate for his needs, but because we 'owned' Win 98SE and ME at the time and didn't see the need to buy XPPro for him, we had 98SE put on as OS.  It WAS adequate and 'relatively' stable for older usage, but it was driving him crazy with crashes and other problems.  We just upgraded his OS to XP Pro and what a difference.

  Norm, I'm still running 98 on one of my machines, but it will destroy
  itself with usage...98 inherently corrupts itself. And popups vanish
  with XP.

  I found it easy to switch to XP. Then the service pack 2 came
  along...a big problem with already sluggish and over-complicated
  Norton and McAfee but not with Computer Associates EZ Antivirus, which
  updates and does its work in the background.

  When I convert my final 98 machine to XP I will first uninstall all
  antivirus/popup applications because most will conflict with Service
  Pack 2, which will get forced on you by the system. Norton is
  especially bad.

  PS 7 is great...I don't know a justification for CS in real photography.

  Matter of fact, Elements 2 is plenty good for many purposes, though
  not very intuitive for color correction if you come at this as I do
  from traditional color photolab/studio photography angle.

  I run Elements 2 along with 7 for its Silverfast SE. I've decided my
  Vuescan is useless because its slow, offers no particular advantage
  over Silverfast, and it conflicts with my online fax/800# voicemail
  system, J2.com (which I've used in for business for nine years).
