PC, yes!
PCs For Everyone just replied, and now that they know that my copy of XP is retail, they have no problem installing my old hard drive in a new system.
Now it's time for me and Teri to look at the numbers.
Here's the setup that I'm considering. I don't understand all the specs, of course, so I'm working in the dark a bit. Suggestions and comments would be welcome.
Everything else is the default, but PCs for Everyone's defaults are always good. Of course there's no drive and no OS, which saves about $180.
Total: $511
I have 200 saved for it already, so I'm on the way.
