Thanks again for all the thoughts and advice about the USB connector,
getting a router, etc. I'm back to working on this again.

Now I'm wondering about upgrading to Win2000 vs. WinXP for my 3rd computer
that currently has Win98se. I thought I'd go ahead and upgrade and I'm
wondering if I ought to jump to WinXP rather than Win2000.

I've been reading some reviews about WinXP, but
1. I'd also love to know some thoughts from any of you who actually use it,
2. Any problems with upgrading from Win98se to WinXP or upgrading from
Win98se to Win2000,
3. Is upgrading to Win2000 still preferable to upgrading instead to WinXP?

I'm after the better stability and better networking support of the two.
Any experiences, thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Warmly,
Shirley
