No thanks, that GHz machine took 20 seconds to just load 
the selected program Explorer after clicking the icon.
Now were I to load DOS and Win 3.1 on that machine it would have been
a joy.
After selecting the URL I thought the machine had hung it took
so long for anything to happen.
It's not like the landlady doesn't have tech support as she
has a guru from the former Tampa Bay Computer Society 
to help her troubleshoot and setup.
I've a spinal injury that makes sitting quite painful
so I'll not be likely to play with Windows XP ever
again.
