If you're not interested in playing the latest games then why
not consider Linux as your OS?

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!

It's taken me many years to learn how to work with Windows and I don't wish
to start over with another OS. Thanks, though, for the suggestion.

The stuff I do in Windows they cannot even do in Linux, mainly
speech activated systemwide scripting and dictation.

I probably should have added a disclaimer before posting... some free
software like Firefox is a great, my opinion is not from positive
feelings for Microsoft, just the facts.

Pushing the envelope of computing is like trying to escape from
captivity. Setbacks are frustrating and Linux is full of them.

an advertisement for Linux distros:
you could try out the 'Linux Live CD' edition of various distros. It
is stored on an optical disc and boots from optical drive. If you find
it's not that hard for you to experience it, you could install a small
one to your huge HDD. Then your machine a couple of OSes. I thought
Linux distros could not be very difficult for native English speakers
anyhow... Although Linux is not like to be a good choice for
entertainment, it must give you a shorter booting time.

what's more, you may want a headphone. I'd like those big 32-ohm ones
without a mike.

Are you advertising for Newegg, Spambot? A high percentage of your
recent posts have included their links. Personally, I like your
technique, and of course there is nothing wrong with Newegg or any
other commercial entity (unless you are persistently pointing to
them).

There is over in the UK group that it's being crossposted to - NewEgg
don't ship internationally (except to PR).

Z, please trim us out if you're only posting newegg links.

If you pick an user friendly Linux such as Ubuntu it's really easy to
use and very like windows. Windows 7 is very different from XP too.

Yeah, easy to use, but not so easy to install if it doesn't recognize all your hardware.
When the installation finished, there was not support for the sound card. It told me I
could recompile the kernel and include a driver for the sound card. At that point, I
was done. I just wanted to use the older Compaq to play MP3s at work.
