    DS@> My question is why would you want to "upgrade" to Win 7?  I'm running   
    DS@> Windows 7 on my desktop, but have to run my BBS on my wife's XP desktop   
    DS@> -- and intend to continue doing that as long as I can.   
      
     The main reason is the security updates. But, if I don't have to do   
   ANYTHING about upgrading, that suits me just fine. I'm going to be   
   talking with a local area ham radio operator, who works in IT locally...   
   and get his feedback.   
      
    DS@> I will also add that I read echomail on my computer in a virtual XP   
    DS@> window (accessing the files via local networking), and it is no where   
    DS@> near as responsive as the native XP on her computer.   
      
     The more I hear about this, the less inclined I am to upgrade. As the   
   old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".    
      
     Thanks for the comments.
