Haha, guess it's a little early to call XP a legacy system. Just a few years
ahead of my time. I probably drive more business away from my shop by asking
people if what they're using does what they need and want. If it works why
fix it? I have a musician still using Windows 3.11. It works for him and it's
fast too. On the other hand I'm blessed with a hard core group that have to
have the very latest and greatest. No offense intended with the legacy remark.
