Are you running XP on 300mhz Celerons?

Are you running XP on 300mhz Celerons?

Why would anyone want to run a celery processor?

Gates and his O.E.M. customers PROMOTE XP on those systems rather than sell or support Win98SE for older machines; if cars were like computers, you couldn't find fuel for your three year old model except at a few isolated stations and it would be stale as well.

The $1000 do everything home system you buy today is obsolete junk according to the industry next year. That may be fine for people making $100K with nice benefits packages but it sucks for the parents struggling on $50K trying to be sure their children have the computer they're told is needed to succeed.

I miss my Amiga, too! (Actually, I still have my first Amiga 500 -Tetris is still challenging)Also have P4 laptop with XP.

"Are you running XP on 300mhz Celerons?"

Hardly. But seeing how the Windows directory on this machine is 2.39 gigabytes, I can see why you need a rocket engine to run Gates' bloatware.
