   Hello Bob,   
      
    >>> Too soon to upgrade to 10.  Much too buggy right now.   
    >>> Better to wait.  But do what you want.   
      
    BK>>>> I have three desktops, and four laptops functional. All but two   
    BK>>>> with XP.   
      
    BA>> Hmph.  I have at least seven desktops/towers set up and   
    BA>> running, I don't pollute them with Micro$oft products.   
      
    BA>> There are a total of about 100 computers here, including an   
    BA>> IBM S/390, an IBM AS/400 and two NCR Tower 16/32s - I don't   
    BA>> know how many PC compatibles there are here and I'm too   
    BA>> lazy to go count them.  Plus a room full of parts...   
      
    BK> I am now living in an apartment. No longer have that kind of   
    BK> room.   
      
   More and more folks are choosing to downsize.  Some by moving   
   into an apartment or other rental.  Others by finding a rural   
   setting and building a small abode, 600 to 1200 square feet.   
   And then there are preppers, who seem to prefer 300 to 400   
   feet as their main size, although some do get close to about   
   500 square feet.  It is the loners and very devout couples   
   who really take small seriously, living in buildings that   
   are barely over 100 square feet.  Not really sure those   
   structures could withstand anything approaching a hurricane,   
   tropical storm, or even a gale ...
