Part of the reason I haven't upgraded this XP machine is because of
the *myriad* of small apps and utilities I have found / installed over
the years and would have to re-find / install on any replacement.

There have been some informative replies - thank you.

However, Mark says just use Mypal browser, T i m says he still happily
uses XP, so why would I bother replacing XP with any version of Linux if
XP still works and is still 'safe' to use, perhaps within limitations?
