Dale...

 DS{at}> My question is why would you want to "upgrade" to Win 7?
 I'm running
 DS{at}> Windows 7 on my desktop, but have to run my BBS on my wife's XP desktop
 DS{at}> -- and intend to continue doing that as long as I can.

  The main reason is the security updates. But, if I don't have to do
ANYTHING about upgrading, that suits me just fine. I'm going to be
talking with a local area ham radio operator, who works in IT locally...
and get his feedback.

 DS{at}> I will also add that I read echomail on my computer in a virtual XP
 DS{at}> window (accessing the files via local networking), and it is no where
 DS{at}> near as responsive as the native XP on her computer.

  The more I hear about this, the less inclined I am to upgrade. As the
old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". 

  Thanks for the comments.

Daryl
