What I had planned to do was buy a new Win 8 PC for surfin and relegade the XP to off-the-net music stuff. however I don’t like Win 8 that much so I keep deferring buying a new PC.

Windows 8 sucks beyond sucking.

Windows Vista looks respectable next to Win 8. I gave Win 8 a chance, but it continues to be obnoxious, annoying, and constantly gets in the way of getting things done.

My old Win XP machine with 1 Gb of RAM is faster than my new hotter machine with 4 Gb of RAM. That should tell you something.

BTW, I know how to ramp up the speed on these things too. All unnecessary services are out the door.

It tells me something alright.
