TY Still trying to see what you were referring to in your siggy. Must be a short between the keyboard and seat.

Easy Rhino, Thank you for your reply, it is appreciated. We have several programs that are specifically designed for the Window's environment. Email, Internet, and Office applications are easy and I use and try out different ones on an ongoing basis; that is not an issue beyond user learning...

Killer_Rubber_Ducky, Foremost thank you for sharing you time and experience. If I understand your post you are recommending Debain. Cool. Please, if you can spare some more time, help me understand in words I can share with the Powers That Be, why you recommended it. Please understand I am...

Many thanks, I've responded to your PM. :) Cheers, Null

Arjai, Many thanks as always. Been developing this idea for a while; just over a year now. It is expanding because others are in the same boat too. A little more on that when I respond to blobster21 I would welcome questions; they help develop and clarify my thinking or what may pass as...

Arjai, First and foremost thank you for your reply. I'd be thrilled to get an i3 at work. Now I am one of the chosen and have 4 GB of RAM and a second disk drive with a lot of room on the server. ;) I'll take what I can get and bring home major projects so I don't have to find a cup of...

95Viper, In support of your post; if memory serves the change from XP to 7 required many to upgrade hardware and that was years ago; anybody else remember that little compatibility utility? Like it or not a business upgrading to windows 7 or 8 will be expensive. That cost gets passed on to us...

Jetseter, A very interesting link, thank you. :toast: Cheers, Null

Cheers all, I am really not looking to open up any debates about the various operating systems available. What I am doing is researching a way to keep using older XP based systems without having to buy hardware or buy new Windows software. Background I've been collecting data about moving...

Arjai, Cool I'm on it. Thanks, Null

eidairaman1, Thank you yet again, Still checking out all the links so generously shared here. Just added this to them. Now happily back to checking them all out. Once again, thank you. Cheers, Null

Dear All, Thank you very much for sharing your time and thoughts with me. If I missed someone it was only because I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful advice and links I am about to explore. I'll keep checking back. Thank you one and all. Cheers, Null

Vario, Way cool, thank you again. I've got the link open and will check it out when I get caught up here. If I end up with the Prodigy case this information is very good to know. Still have to sign off and check out the links to other blue cases some kind soul (Vario) provided before I...

eidairaman1, First and foremost, thank you. My thinking was closed toward AMD chips. Because it was not something I'd considered your recommendation is especially valued. I shall reconsider them based on your recommendation. I have opened the links you provided and will check them out when...

Vario, Wow, thank you very much, especially for all the research. Yes it is small even if the Prodigy is big in the form factor. If I change cases I am not modding it where it shows. Yea, I can drill holes, they just look shabby. If it were for me I'd mod the heck out of it just to learn how...
