Bill,
I also have been running XP Pro since October 2001; NO Problems so
far...Yep, there are bug fixes for the last 3 years. However, the other
computer, sitting next to the XP machine, loaded with Red Hat Linux has
crashed and burned with 'freebie' Linux applications. So far, the XP PRO is
the more reliable machine.
Oh, the XP machine is running SP2 without a hitch so far (did my homework
and upgraded the two apps that Microsoft listed as problems).
What's this got to do with Orion......Gee, guess we will have to figure that
out.
Maybe the ole tube radios should come back out...........
Ron ..... NU1U

No problems...... I had to pay to upgrade (errrr, fix bugs) my Icom 775DSP
(and my 735 and 765) sitting next to the Orion.
And then there's Microsoft's perfect XP creation...over 95MB worth
of updates in the past few weeks...~75MB for XP's SP2 plus another 20MB for
two Microsoft.NET updates. I pity anyone still using dial-up access.
Methinks we doth protest too much!
