>>>It was a lot of fun... will install the Windows 7 as soon as HP upgrades the drivers for its OfficeJet 6500 printer (which I picked up for a song from Office-Depot for about $20 !! (you can too! It has been reduced to be on Instant Sale for $99.99 - and with a trade in of ANY printer you get an Instant Rebate of $50 taking it down to $49.99. The INK in my old printer had run out and was going to cost around $30... so $49.99 - $30.00 = $19.99 for the printer (it comes with its own ink inside!).... But it doesn't have the Windows 7 printer drivers yet from HP... will be out later this month!) So when that comes out, I will reinstall everything with Windows 7!!!

>>Not at Office Depot, though. They are one of the big box chains that have gone under in the past year or two.

>>Re ink, do a google on misleading early warnings of ink cartridges going dry. There has been some publicity, involving HP and possibly other manufacturers. I don't replace mine until I actually see the problem on printouts. Also, know that the ink cartridges that come with new printers are not full ones.

I don't print much, either. The cartridges on the inkjet downstairs that my daughter uses for her homework, that's another story. I find lots of early drafts discarded in the general vicinity of that printer. Also screen prints of shoes, hats, etc..... <g>
