It's interesting you should say that. My home desktop PC alternates between Win 98SE and Win ME, and I usually do a reformat and reinstall about once a year to clean out all the "guff"
I've seen no need to upgrade to XP (though it would be nice to be to run Google Earth at home, it's not enough to make me consider it yet. I think I'll also need a hardware upgrade first (1Gig Duron with 256MB, XP will _not_ be kind to it!)
