RE: choosing an OS and getting comfy with a new pc

I agree with what others have said about XP.  Just want to add that it should be
XP Pro and not XP Home.  Last I heard IBM does not support their business
software running on XP Home.  Which makes perfect sense.  Plus XP Pro adds some
networking stuff and such that you may need.
