Special Note:
As of this writing(March 2007), Microsoft has released Windows Vista
and Internet Explorer 7
I am not including them at this time, but most of the tips on this site
still work with them. The appearance is different and there are new
features. If you purchase a new computer with Vista on it and have questions,
feel free to write me.
If you are still using XP, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND BUY THE UPGRADE.
Most existing computers will not run it well. Just wait until you need
a new one & get one with Vista on it. You can buy a new one with
an LCD monitor for around $400, so as I have said before, by the time
you add memory and a new hard drive, you still have an older computer
and have spent a large part of the cost of a new system. If you just
want to blow the money on your old system, look at the requirements
for Vista. Be aware that there are multiple versions & each has
minimum requirements. Not everybody agrees what the minimum is, so err
on the side of caution. Search the web for Vista requirements or check
out these links:

where he says:
"Windows Vista has modest minimum system requirements that everyone
with a system from within the last 5 years should have no problem meeting."
Sorry, I disagree. He then says you need more RAM memory and a new
graphics card. You also need a better CPU processor which in my book
all adds up to a "New Computer"!!!
