My supported the UTF-8, but I don't think it was because of me being all the non-lazy. >>> Runs? Crawls more likely. >>> >>> Ehr, how old is that MP3 player?

I tested Vista out and had no real problem with it, just some driver installs (same as in XP really). But since my XP was doing fine I saw no need to take the jump. Since everything I've got and am getting runs on XP there's no point. >> And actually, my Win98 boots up a hundred times as fast as the Vista >> Machine, and since I only use the Win98 machine for downloading, >> managing my mp3player and mail and usenet, it runs like a train. > > 98 was a way better OS, IMO.
