Re: Stop yer whinin...

said by roady1 See Profile :

Old laptops like that run just fine if you learn to tweak the startup and graphics processing...I'm on XP on a Celeron 300 w/90 mb of ram. Unless you NEED quicktime, shockwave, and flash for work, it does what it's supposed to.
Whining? Look at the bigger picture and dig out your wallet.

XP modified may run just fine, but what is the point in upgrading 500+ stand alone laptops used as test controllers and diagnostic aids from 2K to XP, except to give Gates and company more money/pay back of bribes? 2K worked fine WITHOUT TWEAKING. This is $50000+ (granted, a mere drop in the bucket for the feds) in YOUR tax dollars wasted for no value added (not counting the $100/hour labor rate to do the updates and testing, plus any application changes required).
