Default Back from Win XP Upgrade!

Wow. I just rcvd my Windows XP Upgrade package from Dell and spent 2 nights getting my machine up and running. All I can say is that it isnt as easy as one might think. Only problem was with installing my HP printer. Needed HP on the phone 4 times.

What does this have to do with Corvettes? NOTHING!!!! :D :D

Just wanted to say hello to all and catch up on all the threads. Cant make it to the Xmas party, but to those of you going, have a great time.

Weather sucks. I guess we all got spoiled being able to drive our Vette's in December!

Anywho, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm BAAAACCCCCKKKK!

:lol: :lol:

I have been running XP since it came out--it is like having a new computer. I just downloaded the new drivers for both my printers. The biggest problem was with the cable company--no drivers as yet for the usb Cable modem had to do a direct connect.
