Michael,

>I couldn't resist getting the high resolution display on the new machine (it arrived today), but it's going to take me at least a month to get this thing set up and start using it for real. And of course, I'm going to be extremely careful about backups (I've been using Norton Ghost).

I spent the last weekend installing everything.

>This is my first foray into XP, and there are a lot of apps to install and test. I've resolved this time to support dual boot, or n-tuple boot, whatever that entails. Eventually, one of those partitions will house a copy of Linux, but I'll be at it for a good while with Windows 95A, 95B, 98, 2000, and XP (screw NT and ME). Maybe Linux will be ready for me by the time I'm ready for it.

I really do like XP better than any other version of Windows I've used.
