off topic: XP

[Chris Cheatham <nchrisc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

BlankMy internet computer died and I went out and bought a new XP version.
So far my feelings are pretty much all negative.  Just in
installing/configuring software I have had about 4 crashes, most dealing
with outlook express.  The speed is snail-like, even sending email is
obviously slower than 2000, despite the machine being more than 2x faster.
Right clicking on the background takes about 3 seconds to get a menu...with
2000 it is instantaneous.

Am I doing something wrong?  This thing can't be this slow, can it? I am
considering reformatting the whole thing and starting from scratch with
w2000.

Thanks for any input,
Chris
