WC> GHz Hewlett Packard with gobs of memory
WC> a huge hard drive, cable modem and every imaginable

WC> So I sit down expecting a wonderous and fast net experience

WC> The blasted computer running Win XP at a GHz  with cable modem

WC> and a 28,800 dialup!!!
WC> I got up and walked away from the damn thing being
WC> too impatient to wait for a web page to load.
WC> You couldn't give me a copy of XP after seeing that _performance_.
WC> Why people buy crap like that astounds me.
