My momma called and wants a new computer. She's an octogenarian and don't
like new fangled ways of doing the same thing. That means I should stay with
the operating system she knows - XP.

I went to Dell and they want an extra $150 to install XP on a windows 7
machine. She just needs a basic computer for internet, email, small
spreadsheet, and word. For myself I'd just get a used eBay. But I know momma
wants a new one. Any suggestions?

Also use search term 'windows xp sp3' in eBay search window for other
low - cost approaches.

The best answer for me has been to buy a replacement HD and install
the OS to it. Save the original HD for hardware testing and rainy days.

You may have to download one or two drivers and install them manually.

Machining can only occur between one Catholic and one Bridgeport.

Other people and machines can continue to enjoy their hobby within
a Mechanical Partnership but to protect our fine tradition, they
must be prevented from actually Machining. To grant them the ability
to Machine would ruin this traditional institution for Catholics,
Bridgeports and everyone and everything else.

Do we think that a Unitarian and her Deckel has any valid claim to
the freedom and sanctity of Machining? Of course not!
We cannot risk validating this gravely unjust pairing; to
recognize it would send the wrong message to our precious youth.
Who knows how many young lives have been utterly ruined because
of the non-procreative destruction of perfectly acceptable surfaces by
non-Catholics using non-Bridgeports?

No other form can be considered as an equivalent to this natural
relationship between a Catholic and a Bridgeport out of whose love
tools are born.

Join me to protect the unique social and legal status of Machining
for everyone in the 21st century!
