Sorry for the delay in updates, was out of town, I got the computer running without any problems so far, I just need to get a copy of windows xp. My copy of xp that came with my gateway wouldn't let me install it, which bites, but what ticks me off even more is that the full version of XP is now $199 everywhere, including at the military base. Was it not $99 for the full version just a few years ago for XP? Thats the price I paid for a full copy but then let a friend borrow it and forgot about it, and never saw that CD again, but what justifies a price increase of $100 dollars? Service Pack 2? Screw you Microsoft, I'm just going to borrow a copy from a friend, end of rant.
