Re: [Digital BW] Re: New Computer Advice

I recently got a quote from a local computer shop for a purpose-built 
desktop box (I'll keep keyboard and monitor, plus all external drives 
and probably will also move one of my internal drives which contains 
most of my images from current to new machine.)  They were able to 
provide a new box with XP installed - no Vista/downgrade process, just a 
new XP operating system from the get go.  This is a local operation, not 
a national chain or franchise.  You might be able to find the same thing 
if you ask.
