Let's have a little reality check here. Windows 95 which you used on one of your systems. That's *10* years ago! Windows 2000. That's
*5* years ago. Time marches on. That's part of the reason Mac OSX works as well as it does. They don't *have* to have absolute compatibility with OS's that are many years old and have become obsolete. You get new software for your new and improved OS. Yes it costs money to do, but if you want to have your functionality you do have to upgrade. That's just the way of the world. Sometimes upgrading to a new OS is just something that you put off. I have put off upgrading to XP pro only because when I do put it on this machine I'm going to wipe the drive and start fresh rather than cobble my machine with old and new stuff. It's a question of saving what I need to save and then just taking the time to do it.
